The assembly for the turntable is easy, you just have to follow the simple instructions and it’s ready to go. This is my second record player but my first one over $100. The design is simple, yet sleek and sturdy. It has some weight to it, which is good. This definitely has more to it than my previous one. I still need to read all the instructions to get the best sound and use but overall I am loving this turntable.

Exactly as advertised, excellent sound and easy to use. Very simple, crisp clear sound. Materials are of very good quality, like that of turntables much more costly. Only watch out, really read the instructions carefully. There is some assembly required, look at the diagrams and the arrows very close.

Denon 300F - A Great Listening Experience!

The Denon 300F is a fantastic fully automatic turntable that delivers hours of listening enjoyment without the work of a manual turntable. I purchased this turntable several years ago for my wife who needed an automatic to replace her manual Pro-Ject in her home office. The turntable has not had any issues and has worked flawlessly since purchasing, which prompted me to purchase this second one to add to our receiver downstairs. Setup is very easy out of the box and only requires a few minutes to set up and balance the tonearm, especially if you have a turntable stylus force scale. For vinyl collectors, there are good turntables and there are great turntables and this falls under the latter. As with anything, quality does cost, and this turntable was luckily on sale at the time from Best Buy at a great price. If you are interested in purchasing a fully automatic turntable that delivers, then consider the Denon 300F from someone that has purchased 2 and has not been disappointed with either purchase.

This turntable works like a champ (at this price point). As my first turntable it is easy to set up and I love the auto off feature it offers. The only inconvenience part is the length of the phono cable. I definitely recommend it if you look for a solid turntable at a affordable price range.

After reading the reviews I decided to purchase this unit. I went for the full automatic turntable for the obvious reasons and it did function as stated in the listing. What I was disappointed w was the build, plastic throughout the unit. The worst is the 8¢ plastic 45’ adapter. The sound w the current cart was lacking, nothing inspiring through my B&W system. For reference, I played my Technics 1210M5G w an Ortofon cartridge and it was night and day. Fleetwood Mack’s Rumors came alive. I’m aware the vast differences of the tables and I’m not wanting a DJ turntable on my entertainment center but for $500 I would want better sound which this lacks. Plastic throughout, bad cartridge and the sound dampening is poor, really poor. I would buy this at 1/2 price and I would be happy but not at the current price point. Turntable Lab has this exact unit w an Ortofon Red cartridge and cork mat for $20 more than BB if your reading reviews like I did before purchasing.

Decided to get back into vinyl and this looked like a great player to get for the long haul. I like that it’s fully automatic and that I can upgrade the needle. Works well with my Sonos amp too!

I choose this over an Orbit based on price. The style is simple but functional, looks good on my entertainment rack. Sounds pretty good, I will upgrade the needle soon.

A turntable that feels like an early 80s model.

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This turntable is comfortable to use. When you lift the arm to play you feel control over what your doing. I have other tables such as pro-ject t1, a u-turn, and other vintage but this is the most natural feeling TT of any I own. My other tables seem like they don't want you to touch them and just feel odd when placing the arm on the record. Also, you don't appreciate having an automatic TT until you lived with full manuals for years. So care free being able to listen to music without worrying about catching the arm before it hits the label.

Excellent simple machine. Nice looking and great performance. The tonearm drops the needle at the right spot and lifts it correctly. The sound is very good and easy to assemble. Very light but solid. I really enjoy this turntable. It lacks a clamp to secure the tonearm to its base and the reason I giving 4 stars is because the turntable does not suppress the sound at landing nor at take off. The noise at high volume when the needle looses contact with the record may damage your equipment badly. Other than that this record player is highly recommended.

Great turn table. The automatic feature works great. I did have to calibrate the speed as it was a couple RPM fast out of the box for both 33 1/3 and 45. I replaced the cartridge with a Sumiko Pearl and the two work wonderfully together.

Very happy with this unit so far we purchased another unit online and did not have the automatic returned. We did have to purchase a secondary amplifier in order to power the Sonos eros 100 so the system would connect with the rest of our Sonos components. Note that this requires the adapter directly from Sonos.

Great choice for the money purchased on sale. The belt drive is great, sound is fantastic, and the look and cleanliness is what we were looking for. The arm adjustability is really nice. This has the feel of a much more expensive turn table.

The Denon DP300F is a great product for the price. Fully automatic features make it easy to use. Stylus provides very nice sound and tracks correctly. Very happy with this product so far. At some point I will replace the stylus with a higher quality one to enhance the sound quality.

Picked up the Denon DP-300F a few weeks ago and I’m really impressed with it. I wanted something fully automatic that didn’t feel cheap or plasticky, and this hits the mark. It’s got a clean, minimalist design that looks great on my setup—low profile but still feels substantial and well-built.
Setup was simple, even for someone not super experienced with turntables. The built-in phono preamp is a huge plus since I didn’t need to buy anything extra to hook it up to my speakers. The automatic start and stop functions are smooth, and the tonearm returns gently—feels very refined. Sound quality is warm and rich, and the stock cartridge is decent, though I might upgrade it down the line.
Only real downside is the buttons feel a little dated, kind of plasticky, but functionally they work fine. For casual listening and vinyl enthusiasts who want convenience without sacrificing quality, this turntable’s a solid choice.
