Additional information
The Denon DP-30L and DP-30LS are similar turntables, with the LS likely being a variant or model designation. Here are some key points about the Denon DP-30L:
Denon DP-30L: An excellent turntable with a good feature set, quality motor, solid chassis, and excellent speed control circuitry. It weighs just under 10kg and has commendably low wow and flutter. It features a non-contact type auto lift mechanism and an AC servo motor for high SN ratio of 78 dB. The cabinet is made of a new material, H.D.C. (High Density Compound), which provides excellent acoustic properties and high strength.
Denon DP-30L II: An improved version of the original DP-30L/30LS, featuring a light mass straight tonearm. It retains the electrical circuitry and rating of the original model but offers enhanced performance and features.
