Denon DP-70L
october 1980
1982
Costing 120,000¥, the DP-70L is an updated DP-70M, which kept bubinga as top veneer.
Added was the electronic arm lifter and the latter's speed control : the switch and knob to the right of this image, where the fixed/variable switch and pitch knob are on the DP-70M, the latter being displaced to the left.
The rest is identical :
Double-platter (zinc + aluminium diecasts), strong torque from the AC motor, bi-directional servo correcting the 1000 magnetic impulses read by a magnetic head, electronic braking, high 80dB s/n ratio, ridiculously low speed deviation, a fair resistance to load and 16kg on the balance, too.
The included tonearm has VTA adjustable on the fly up to 9mm, its counterweight has Dynamic Damping built-in (and the end of the wand as well), gold-plated contacts, magnetic anti-skating, and an auto-lifting of itself at the end of records.
The step up was the DP-80 standalone drive which cost 95,000¥ all by itself - sans controlled-speed electronic lifter, sans tonearm, sans PCL-4 headshell, sans bubinga.
The DP-70L is discreetely elegant and remained available until the irruption of CD.
