I pulled the trigger on one, I hope it is all that people claim. Any comments would be appreciated, likes dislikes. I gave up looking for a second Pioneer PL-707, posted ads on craigslist, Audiogon and on here. So decided to give up the auto options and get the Denon.

    They are great tables! What cartridge are you mounting on it?

    I helped my bud Carl (schwarcw) set up a Denon 59L (another great Denon offering) after Polkfest. The 59L was available in Piano Black and a wood finish and is more classic in design compared to the 62. Carl's is beautiful in Black. It sounded fantastic too!

    You have the straight or S arm? All the weights with it? The hard to find stylus alignment gauge? Manual? Check out the vinyl engine if you didn't get a manual.

    Here is a link Carl sent me to an auction for a 67L that shows some of the hard to find accessories.

    I snagged a pic on the web that has the 59L and 62L side by side. How bout dat!

    Wow the 59L makes the 62l look small.

    Wow hard to beat the build quality in those old Denons.

    You only need to post your question in a SINGLE forum, not every forum. It's annoying and many times people won;t respond.

    +1 to what SCompRacer says!

    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!
