1. Denon Dp-300f
The DP-300F features a particularly heavy chassis to reduce vibrations and enhance playback quality. The completely redesigned tonearm has a special head for easy cartridge swapping. The standard head supports the installation and balancing of standard cartridges weighing between 5 and 10 grams.
Fully automatic means that the turntable starts playback at the push of a button and, once the end of the record is reached, gently moves the tonearm back to the armrest. This ensures that neither the stylus nor the record is damaged. The turntable has a robust die-cast aluminum platter that allows for quiet operation without speed fluctuations. You can also manually lift the tonearm using the lift lever and move it to the desired playback position on the record.
The DP-300F has a built-in phono equalizer, allowing it to be connected to amplifiers or receivers without their own phono input. For those who wish to use their own phono preamp or MC cartridge, the preamp can be switched off. The platter is driven by a DC servo motor via a belt system, allowing for rotation speeds of 33 1/3 and 45 RPM.

2. Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT
The AT-LP60XBT offers the same outstanding features as the optimized fully automatic belt-driven stereo turntable AT-LP60X, enhanced with a Bluetooth interface. This allows the turntable to connect with Bluetooth speakers, headphones, and other wireless devices. Thanks to the CSR-BT chipset, the AT-LP60XBT is even compatible with devices that support the aptX codec – providing noticeably better audio quality than the standard SBC codec.
Of course, the AT-LP60XBT can also be operated like a traditional turntable via a wired connection. Both options, wireless or wired, guarantee an exceptional audio experience – particularly convenient due to the fully automatic operation, controlled by front-mounted start, stop, and tonearm lift buttons.
For over 50 years, Audio-Technica has been recognized as a leading manufacturer of phono cartridges, and this extensive experience benefits the dual magnet cartridge of the AT-LP60XBT, which features a replaceable stylus. For a particularly straightforward setup and reliable performance, the cartridge has been integrated into the headshell in this model.
