DENON DP-57L Direct Drive Turntable in Very Good Condition

DENON DP-57L:

A quality-made Japanese "Golden Era" direct drive

Item Description

The DENON DP-57L is a direct-drive turntable released in Japan in 1982, during the "Golden Era" of Japanese audiophile equipment. Although mostly limited to Japan, Denon turntables from this era have a phenomenal reputation worldwide for their high-quality playback performance, especially the stable rotation speed, high SNR, low motor noise, and low wow and flutter. The DP-57L was produced as an improvement to the DP-60, taking some ideas from the excellent DP-100M, such as a purely electronic arm-damping mechanism. Japanese critics have remarked on the stability and robustness of the DP-57L. The “L” signifies that this turntable is fully automatic, and equipped with an auto-lifting arm.

This turntable is in Very Good condition, with some aging throughout (please see picture), including some scratches and scuffs. The dust cover also has scratches and scuffs. **Cracks have formed on both sides of the dust cover's hinge section. Overall, the property remains in very beautiful condition. Our professional technician has thoroughly checked and tested this turntable, confirming its flawless operation.
