DENON DP-37F
¥ 54,800 (released in March 1984)
Commentary
A full auto player equipped with an arm that employs a dynamic servo tracer.
The turntable uses a DENON quartz turntable with magnetic recording detection method.
Stable rotational performance has been achieved by adding a bidirectional servo to the combination of magnetic recording detection method and quartz lock.
An electronically controlled contactless tone arm equipped with a dynamic servo tracer is used for the tone arm.
In the dynamic servo tracer, the low-frequency resonance due to the compliance of the cartridge and the effective mass of the tone arm is electronically damped in both horizontal and vertical directions, effectively suppressing the deterioration of crosstalk and cross-modulation distortion.
The arm body uses a light mass straight arm.
A mirror-finished cabinet has been adopted for the cabinet.
The cartridge is equipped with DL-65, a light weight MM cartridge with elliptical needle.
