Those are both very nice -- and Denon made some fine tts (not to mention cartridges!) -- but (personally) I am a little leery of those bionic arms. I like simple stuff...
The dp1200 is a very simple manual arm with only auto lift, no return or any servo features. Basically a manual TT but it does have auto lift at end of record.

My Kenwood KD-770D operates the same way. Manual except for the auto lift at the end. (no return)
There is a little story story behind DP-47F and why I bought it but I'll save that for another time. I certainly didn't need another TT
Auto lift at end of record us a nice feature. Its no fun waking up the next day and realizing your stylus was spinning around in the same groove all night.
Oh **** yes! Really stands out, excellent detail,clear separation between instruments and imaging. The impact of each note is remarkable. Mind you I use a good phono pre (Lehman black cube SE) and audioquest cable) but very very pleased with it!

On one of my musical therapy sessions years ago on that blue couch, I was playing the Carpenters Greatest hits or Christmas album and I fell asleep.
My Technics SL1400MK2 has a inherent problem where all of the return mechanisms broke on every one ever made.
So for about an hour or 2, it spun around like you said.
The one and only time.
So from then on, Cd's were the go to physical median when I was really tired.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

I once had a friend tell me that he passed out with his system at full volume and a CD player that had skipped for about 6 or 7 hours before he got up to do anything about it.
I bet his speaker were well broken in after that ordeal.
You don't need a pretty model to make this receiver attractive.
I had a SX-1280 and sold it for 180.00.. What a fool I was back then.
I had a SX-1050 and sold it for 50.00.. It turned on but no sound. It probably needed fuses or something. Both were filthy dirty when I bought them, but they cleaned up to like new beauty.
Now that I'm getting some disposable income every month now, I've thought about purchasing a 1280 at retail now. I doubt I will but who knows .

I bought a receiver or maybe it was just an Integrated from that series years ago.....Guess where....yea, a church bazaar.
It too was under a table, hidden from the people that showed up before me. I think it was 4.00. It played fine and was quite solid and heavy. I liked those little square push buttons.
I shipped it to a HK collector "of that HK series" in Seattle I believe.

I see a vintage variac off to the right. Combine that with a 100-watt Marshall head and set it at 90 volts and voila, you get the Van Halen "brown sound".

Maybe not a vintage as should it be for this thread but I'm happy to have snagged it

I have a AT OC9/II that I plan to put on the Denon. You like the AT on your Denon ??

10 years of use in 6 or 7 hrs.
Wonder they didn't burn up.
Heathkit catalog, 1983.
Then, as now, s-e-x sells.
And she knows why she is in the picture too.
Only people like me smiles like that when we turn a dial and hear something amazing !
Nice rack. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

or multiples
The SX-1980 was nice
I don't think I have anything new (so to speak) to add, though... do I?
did I show that hk before? Too lazy to check...
I recognize the arm, but it's not one I really know.
Yes, I remember that pic (and the black headphone cord) when we spoke about HK decks last week. Still, it's good to see it again.
I love that styling !

Looks nice but I could never own one. I would constantly be fiddling with all of those buttons and never get a chance to relax and enjoy the music.
Who knew so many metaphors could be mangled in two short sentences!?
The hk deck -- yeah, I dug up that photo from the ahh-chives (as they'd say in pahts of Bahsten) due to that conversation... and forgot. derp.
Let's see what else is lurking in the weeds...
Stereo -- the hard way.
Nice single-ended 6L6 power amps, though
