* For how long have you been using it?
A little less than a week
* Did you try many other models before getting this one?
One model tested really well, the MCD 200 of JBSYSTEMS
* What thing do you like most/least about it?
Pros:
- Compact size, light enough
- The case is nicely finished and looks quite robust
- The drive to eat both soft and firm, without being very noisy
- The overall ergonomics of the controls, and I like the buttons backlight color ^ ^
- The pitch is very accurate
- The effects are "little" but many go well, it is essential
- The display is slightly tilted quite handy and more readable than the MCD 200
- The speed of actuation, it is ready quickly after inserting the cd, a little longer with an mp3 cd, but that's normal
- The general functions are sufficient for my beginner level
Cons:
- I would have preferred a central touch rubber jog, but as there is no function scratch, not a problem
- Going back to scratch, there is not but it does not bother me, I think it's also a little "gadget" but my personal opinion. Moreover it does not always or with a high latency on entry-level turntables I've tested.
- Two small "concerns" on one of the two plates purchased:
* The absence of one of the four runners who get lost on the chain packing, but I replaced it myself
* Being very (sometimes too see but I assume) fussy with the equipment I have noticed something. The optical makes a little noise when it moves fast and is half way, you can hear eg when going from first to last track. This does not change the deck to function normally, but watch anyway (I am only at the beginning of the warranty ...)
What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Really good, I hesitated between these and the Reloop RMP 1 which are in the same price range. The Denon is more interesting and more compact, I do not regret my choice.
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
It is still early to tell, but I think so!
If you are looking for entry-level turntables (attention I did not say low end, which is different) at a reasonable price and quality, it seems to me a very good choice
