DenonDP-29F Fully Automatic Record Player, Analog Turntable with Built-in RIAA Phono Equalizer, Unique Automated Tonearm Design, Manual Lifter Mechanism, Rigid Diecast Aluminum for Stability

I loved setting this up. It’s my first. I enjoyed feeling like I was part of why it sounds so good :). It looks better than I expected too. I needed one with a dust cover since I have cats and this cover has a brown tint that matches the rest of it nicely. For now I use a converter to play thru a Samsung soundbar.

I want an upgrade and the player was perfect! Great sound from the player!

Was looking to replace my 40 year old direct drive Pioneer turntable that finally gave up the ghost to a tune of $500 to repair. And current models are not a bit automatic as much as my old TT. Not with out similar major bucks.So I settled on this Denon DP-29F. Belt drive is stable and true. Full size platter. Normal phono output, or amplified. But two things I did not think I'd like were the fixed cartridge or the light weight platter. Now the cartridge and its installed stylus seem to play very nicely. There is no apparent way to change the cartridge to a more high end model. So I am resigned to this. The platter is very light weight, so running my disk washer brush seems to make it lean a lot. How long till it bends permanently to ne side? I'll find out eventually.Otherwise, it runs well and sounds terrific.

sounds amazing, phono on/off switch is exactly what i needed. easy to assemble.

Never thought a record player could suck so much. Hitting it with a hammer was more satisfying than returning it.

I wanted an economical turntable so my wife and I could listen to a collection of old albums we have. So far this turntable has been excellent. We cannot believe how good it works and sounds.

The instructions to set up the turntable were clearly translated from a foreign language into English and were very poorly written -- to the point of not making any sense -- and difficult to follow. I didn't realize I'd have to spend so much time setting up the turntable and make several judgments on what they meant in those instructions. If you have to set up the turntable because that helps prevent damage during shipping, then so be it, but please provide clear set up instructions which are easier to understand and follow.The next issue was the ground cord, which the instructions show how to connect to the stereo. This was probably the most clearly written instruction. However, there was no ground cord included, which made me nearly pull my hair out setting up. I finally said F--- it, I guess I won't have a ground.Also, I had to relocate my speakers, which were 3 feet away from the turntable on either side of my stereo due to the incredible interference from the turntable. This was AFTER I turned off the internal amplifier which caused distortion as well.Once I got the turntable set up, and the speakers moved far away it did sound pretty good. But with all the other issues I wouldn't have bought this if I'd known I'd have to deal with all this BS.

Bought as a gift for an audiophile, and he loves it.
