Are you finally convinced that a turntable offers a unique listening experience? Most people still refuse to believe that physical media such as vinyl records are worth their while. We can’t really blame them, given the convenience provided by music streaming services and digital downloads. However, sales numbers do not lie, which is why we want to showcase the DP-500BT.
It may seem like a huge step back for audio playback due to the groundbreaking advancements made in wireless technology. No need to worry, because Denon knows exactly what can urge consumers to finally jump on the turntable bandwagon. A short yet succinct product description of the DP-500BT reads: “Premium semi-automatic Hi-Fi Turntable with Bluetooth.
That’s no typo because this bad boy will work with the latest speaker systems. With that out of the way, here are the notable details that just might push you to finally collect LPs. Straight out of the gate, we have a sleek and minimalist aesthetic courtesy of the black plinth and muted sheen of its metal components.
It may not be as glitzy as polished finishes, yet that’s exactly the point. Once you’re done gawking at the understated yet stylish cosmetics, it’s time for playback. Hook it up to your favorite speakers (wired/wireless), place the vinyl on the die-cast aluminum platter, drop the S-shaped tonearm, and expect acoustic bliss.
The DP-500BT touts a precision belt-drive system and vibration-resistant chassis for little to no resonance. All you hear is stable, high-fidelity music. The turntable also comes with an integrated “switchable” phono preamp that allows users to pair their turntable with “powered speakers or amplifiers without additional components,” says Denon.
