BelleVue Denver Record Player - Black

Product Information

You want a turntable that stands out: With a particle-board chassis, plastic platter, DC motor, pivoted arm and aluminum detailing, this is simply gorgeous. The resurgence in vinyl sales has meant that audio experts including Sony, Technics, Rega, Audio-Technica, House Of Marley, Pro-Ject and more have had to keep on top of their game to keep the discs spinning. If you want to hear your just-bought or much-cherished records just as intended, the Rega is how you do it. Its sound is warm and luxurious, but it doesn’t dawdle – instead it snaps along, integrating every area of the frequency range in the most natural manner.

Belt-driven turntables are going to be a lot quieter and offer higher fidelity than their direct drive brethren, as direct drive turntables have a motor that is directly connected to the platter. If you’re boarding the vinyl bandwagon for the first time or getting back into the hobby, start by familiarising yourself with some key components, particularly the phono stage.

As we wrote in our review: "If all you want is to listen to your records and not have to worry about queueing, premature needle wear or digitizing your records, the Denon DP-300F should be at the top of your list. Any players that look very similar to exact clones as the FU-700 and R200 are to be avoided due to the reasons as mentioned above! The CD stereo body has been manufactured from real wood which not only helps to make a great looking retro radio record player, but this also works well with the integrated stereo speakers to give a warm, rich sound quality. If the Clearaudio Concept and Marantz TT-15S1 seem similar, that’s because the Marantz was built by Clearaudio to Marantz’s specifications. Conversely, having the bearings adjusted too tightly will impede the arm's ability follow the grooves and possiby damage the bearing races.The MRD-51 also supports MP3 CDs, which means you can listen to your music CDs or play your favourite audio book CDs. There’s now a suggestion of convenience in the shape of a speed-change switch at the bottom of the plinth – previously you’d have to take off the platter and move the drive belt to change speeds, but now 33. Finally, we take a look under the hood of any other features a turntable offers, such as computer-connectivity for digitising our records, an automatic tonearm or built-in preamp.

Some Leetac and Skywin-built turntables contain built-in speakers and no suspension or isolation of the platter or tonearm which will also adversely affect playback due to feedback and vibration, increasing the likelihood of skipping. If you opt for a fancy wireless record player, you might want to invest in a Bluetooth speaker, a wireless speaker, or connect it to your existing smart speaker.Then again, if you want a more high-end performance from the get-go, take a look at the Pro-Ject Carbon Evo at the top of our guide. It looks like a children's toy, and is almost as cheap, but the Lenco L-85 is actually a semi-automatic, belt-driven turntable with a built-in phono stage and the ability to record via USB. If you’re looking to marry old-school hi-fi with new-school cool, this Sony spinner is the best record player for you in my opinion.
