Denon DP-300F Overview
Vinyl is making a comeback and audio companies have responded by releasing new turntables. This makes finding the right one for you tricky, as there are many good options out on the market—especially if this will be your very first time buying vinyl records!
The Denon DP-300F is a great player for beginners because it automatically starts and stops playback. You don’t need to move the arm manually which will save you time when recording or listening back later on, plus that extra motion can cause premature needle wear!
The Denon DP-300F is a good-sounding device for those who don’t have the best speakers or headphones. It’s designed with bThe Denon DP-300F is a good choice for beginners who don’t want the best sound quality, but rather something that will please their ears and not cost too much.
Design
The DP-300F is an all-black turntable that doesn’t look generic at first glance. The design has a beautiful, yet understated quality about it thanks to its piano black finish and subtle hints of metal flaking throughout the surface paint job on this particular model.
The Denon DP-300F has an easy-to-use replaceable headshell that makes cartridge swapping simple. You can buy additional copies of the included sound cartridges and attach them with ease in order to experiment with different sounds! The turntable also features built-in 45 RPM speed, so there’s no need for manual belt changes if you want faster playback speeds too.
It’s not the most common record format nowadays, but a 78 rpm playback would’ve been nice to have had Denon. Next to the speed button are buttons for switching between 12″ and 7″. If those don’t work within your collection of LPs then you can manually queue them with tonearm lever!
The Denon DP-300F’s only real flaw is the switch to turn on and off its built-in phono preamplifier. It’s tucked away under a mat you’ll have to lift in order for access, but we didn’t mind that at all since most people will never hit this button!
Performance
It’s hard to find a turntable with this level of sound quality at such an affordable price. For those that don’t want their music delivered in pristine audiophile perfection, the Denon DP-300F is your best option – but only if you’re willing to put up with average highs and bass on par with higher-priced models.
Denon’s DP-300F turntable is a joy to use and easy on your arms. Setting it up couldn’t be easier, as all you have to do is place the record onto its platter and press “Start” for an automated start/stop process that will get everything set in no time!
The Denon DP-300F is a budget turntable that will work for beginners who live in apartments. The wood finish makes it more appealing to the eye, but its sound quality isn’t very good due to low dampening capabilities and skips when walking around your home with wobbly floors or other loud noises like TVs blowing air out their backside (blown away).
The Denon DP-300F has the advantage of being able to digitize your records without having a USB output, but it comes at an expense. Records with codes for downloading MP3s are not as common compared to those that feature this feature found on Audio Technica AT-LP120-USB turntables which may be worth considering if you’re looking into buying new equipment!

Conclusion
For those who just want to listen, not fuss with complicated components and manual queuing – the Denon DP-300F should be at the top of your list. Its features get you listening as soon as possible instead of having to fiddle with all that stuff or digitize records which can take up time if it’s done wrong! However like I said before; don’t expect this turntable to sound good when put up against some other low-cost Manual Entry Level Turntables (like AT-LP120 USB).
The Denon DP-300F has a great tonearm and allows you to swap out cartridges, which other automatic turntables do not. It’s on par with lower-priced models in terms of performance but excels when it comes to features like being able to replace your stylus if need be!
The Audio Technica AT-LP120 is a sleek little mixer with a big sound, but its simplicity may be offputting to some people. The Denon DP-300F on the other hand has plenty of features and makes up for any lack in style or finesse thanks to an intuitive interface that will have you mixing like a pro before long!
