DP-3700F Affordable record player of the cool kind. The original DP-3700 sported an interchangeable armbase ; the DP-3700F didn't. Tonearm on both is Denon's original affordable DA-305 tonearm, here fitted with a lifter which the version sold separately didn't have. Mostly, theses "small" players were based on Denon's staple servo system, the outline of which you can see below and equivalent to Sony's Magnedisc as in the TTS-8000 for instance. I was told the patent for this system came from Teac but I have my doubts about this. It is quite probable anyway it emanated from elsewhere and not within the high-fidelity industry - there were far more motors used in the real world than there ever would be in the microscopic audiophile market ! In Denon's version, 1000 pulse are imprinted on the magnetic strip, for a detection frequency of around 1100Hz at 33 1/3 rpm. And while the lightweight platter allows for a quick start, the "flying saucer" looks allow you to impress your friends that are not in hifi. |
