Denon DP-55M Quartz direct drive record player in Very Good condition

Denon DP-55M:

A highly-fidelity Japanese "Golden Era" turntable!

Item Description

The Denon DP-55L is a direct-drive turntable that was released in Japan in 1981, 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-55L has some nice features, such as a non-contact auto-lift mechanism (servo lifter), electronic braking, and anti-skating. The “L” signifies that this turntable is fully automatic, equipped with an auto-lifting arm.

This particular unit is in very good condition, with minor wear throughout (please see photos), including some minor scratches and some wood chipping (See photos). There is a dent on the right side of the front (See photos). The dust cover has some minor scratches (please see pictures and refer to dust cover policy below). This turntable has been thoroughly checked and tested by our professional technician, confirming its flawless operation. The 33 and 45 settings both work perfectly, and the platter rotation is like clockwork, as expected from Japanese products of this era, which were built for a lifetime of operation.
