Reviews for Denon DP-29F Belt-drive turntable with cartridge

Denon DP-29F Belt-drive turntable with cartridge

Strengths: Denon quality; no need for a phono amp or phono input, meaning you can plug it directly into a computer or other device (tape deck etc) to record direct from vinyl.

Weakness: Standard tonearm is a bit light and not adjustable, thus some imperfections on the vinyl may cause it to skip; taping a quarter to the top of the tonearm will help.

I traded down to this model from a higher-end Denon because my new receiver did not have a phono-in, and I didn't want to buy a phono amp or new receiver (again). I also wanted to archive some vinyl records.
This turntable makes it a snap - you just need a plug that converts the RCA phono outputs from the turntable (ie: from Radio Shack for less than $5), into a 1/8" jack for the back of your PC (or whatever you have for a line-in).
This turntable works well enough and is priced right; I am going to buy a 2nd one for my home stereo, and leave this one dedicated to my computers.
