About the DP-51F
The Denon DP-51F is a quartz controlled, fully-automatic direct-drive turntable produced between 1982 and 1985. It features a patented AC servo motor with dual direction speed servo and quartz magnetic pulse detection control, ensuring smooth and stable performance with speed deviation below 0.002% and wow and flutter below 0.01% WRMS. The turntable has a 300mm die-cast aluminum platter and an electronic brake system. It includes a dynamically balanced, straight tube DST tonearm with an effective length of 244mm and 14mm overhang, equipped with an exclusive non-contact electronically controlled dynamic servo tracer system that controls low frequency resonance for superb sound quality. The tonearm supports tracking force from 0 to 3g and cartridge weights from 3 to 12g, with an electronically controlled anti-skating mechanism. The DP-51F automatically detects record size and speed (33 1/3 and 45 rpm) via sensors and microprocessor commands, with a full auto mechanism that prevents tonearm operation when no record is present, protecting the needle tip. It comes with a Denon DL-60 MM cartridge pre-installed. The unit is housed in a wooden cabinet with silver and black finish, weighs 9 kg, and measures 455 x 130 x 424 mm. It outputs via gold-plated cinch connectors and is noted for its purity of tone, flawless tracking, and silent background noise.
