Denon - DP-47F Turntable

DENON DP-47F Quartz Direct-Drive Fully Automatic Turntable with HITACHI VM Cartridge – Made in Japan

Overview

The DENON DP-47F is a high-quality Japanese vintage turntable introduced in 1985, combining precision quartz-controlled direct-drive technology with an innovative electronic tonearm system.

One of its distinctive features is DENON’s Dynamic Servo Tracer tonearm, an electronically controlled, non-contact system designed to improve tracking performance and reduce unwanted resonance. The quartz-controlled drive system provides stable rotational speed, while the fully automatic operation offers convenience for everyday vinyl listening.

This example comes with a HITACHI VM cartridge, making it an attractive addition to a vintage audio collection.

Manufactured in Japan, the DP-47F represents the advanced engineering and attention to detail of Japan’s golden age of hi-fi audio.
