I have owned a mint Denon DP-59L for about 8 months. I have owned everything from 2 Goldmund Studiettos, to exotics with pumps from Eastern Europe. If this turntable was manufactured today, it would have to be priced north of $5000…and that might be cheap, depending upon what brand name you put on it. Imagine if VPI had their name on it…how much it would cost ???..Anyway… my thoughts are that having owned a variety of very good and excellent tables over the past 25 years.. the cartridge is 90%maybe 95% of the sound that we all are ultimately judging. The arm is actually pretty good. I had Steve Leung wire mine with Cardas wires and cartridge clips, to make the signal as good as possible,
I LOVE having the tonearm lift at the end of the LP side. Especially when we are playing Audiophile 45 rpm music, having to lift the cantilever up after 10 minutes or less SUCKS ….
The table is extremely quiet. You need to put the table on a vibration pad,as the stock legs flow all of the vibrations right up to the vinyl surface-that is a MUST.. I changed the RCA cables and plugs to see if it made any improvements. I cannot hear any……..
Remember at $20,000 Turntable with a $250 cartridge is a $250 Turntable. The platter and the tonearm do NOT extract anything out of the vinyl walls. It is solely based upon what you put between the grooves. That being said, the Denon 59L has been one of the best purchases I have ever made, in my audio life. Everyone agrees that it punches well above its “weight”. Mount on it ,a Koetsu Black, a customized Denon DL-103r, BENZ, or HANA MC along with a decent quality MC preamp, and you are golden !!!!
