Denon DP-400 Overview

Auto-Lift Tonearm

The DP-400 features a curved, horizontal-tracking, angled tonearm with auto-lift and playback stop; when the record reaches the end of playback, the tonearm automatically lifts to the groove end and returns to its seated position, helping to preserve the condition of your album. The curved design also helps reduce tracking distortion for clear audio.

Designed for Easy Setup and Operation

It takes just minutes to unbox and operate the DP-400. Plug it into your audio system and begin reconnecting with your vinyl collection.

Weighted, Belt-Driven Platter with Rotation Control

Integrated rotation control is designed to accurately control the platter, preventing unwanted speed fluctuations during playback, so you can enjoy playback as the artist intended. The base is also weighted to help minimize external vibrations.

Engineered for Resonance-Free Music

The turntable is engineered to provide the strength and density needed to reproduce detailed, resonance-free music. The cabinet walls and weighted platter help reduce external vibration.

Removable Dual-Purpose Dust Cover

The removable dust cover helps eliminate vibration issues that affect music quality associated with attached covers. You can place the dust cover upright on the included base to display your album cover.

Compact Design

At just 16.3" wide, the DP-400 is constructed to fit seamlessly into your existing hi-fi system.

Speed Selector

The DP-400 supports playback at 33 1/3, 45, and 78 rpm, allowing you to play your entire vinyl collection.

Phono Equalizer

The built-in switchable phono equalizer helps create an open soundstage that keeps your music true to the original recording. Connect it directly to a component or integrated amp that lacks a dedicated phono terminal for seamless use.

Cartridge Options

The DP-400 includes an MM cartridge for precise listening and musical detail, but if you prefer to use an MC cartridge, you can swap out the existing MM cartridge to suit your preferences.

Denon DP-400 Reviews

Outstanding Value

In a marketplace filled with look-alike and sound-alike gear, especially when it comes to mid-range hifi equipment, Denon continues to carve a niche by producing solid engineering and manufacturing. It's not the cheapest gear, but it's far from being the priciest. Three months ago, our DP-400 arrived completely intact in its Denon box. It was very well packed and worked without problems, requiring only modest adjustments of the type fully covered by the enclosed paper setup and operations manual. We chose to stay with the stock needle and cartridge, but will likely switch up next year. The specs on the arm & turntable are good enough to justify a significant upgrade, but we'd like to save up a few pennies first. The only controversial aspect of the DP-400 is its unorthodox cover. I put the word in quotes because it's really not a cover, at least not as the term is typically understood. It protects the most vulnerable parts against dust, but not the whole table. It's clearly a cost saving measure, and insofar as it inconveniences the owner (which is really very little), I suppose I'd take a half star off my rating, but that's really all that 's worth mentioning. Bottom line: I'd buy it again tomorrow, and have already recommended it to several friends.

Great turntable! Only minor bones to pick.

For the price, I'm very pleased with this TT. It is great out of the box, but also offers good flexibility for upgrades. It's also easy to setup. I was jamming in less than 10 minutes and noticed an immediate and significant improvement in sound quality over my decade-old entry-level Stanton TT. I upgraded the cartridge with an Ortofon 2m red. Sounds warm, silky smooth, and powerful bass. I made some minor adjustments to my stereo's EQ by lowering the mid-range frequencies a notch or two- granted every stereo/speaker set up is different so this may not be universal. Needless to say I'm totally rocking out now and very happy! I really like the ability to bypass the DP-400's built-in phono preamp as it allowed me to experiment with other external options. I compared to an external $100 ProJect phono preamp and ended up enjoying the DP-400's built-in preamp more- saving me space and another thing to plug in. The electronic speed control and auto-stop features are luxurious. I didn't realize how much I would love the auto-stop feature! -my old TT didn't have this. The DP-400 is also nice on the eyes (clean lines and some nice chrome finishes). Minus one star: While I enjoy the looks of the unorthodox dust-cover, I don't think it is as protective as a cover that fully encloses the tone arm. I think the gaps that the DP-400's dust cover leaves could still allow dust to interfere. I also live 400ft from the ocean and I'm a little concerned that the lack of a full enclosure allows greater exposure to the corrosive salty sea air- perhaps time will tell. Just try to be clean. The feet seem of good construction and have vibration dampening qualities but they are not easily height adjustable- making perfect leveling more difficult. Lastly, when not properly electrically-grounded my system generated tons of static and I experienced a subtle but noticeable 120Hz hum at higher volumes. I used a microphone app on my iPhone to confirm the hum was 120Hz- symptomatic of ground loop problems. I live in a humid environment (near ocean) where static should not built up as it does in arid regions. However, my static build up became a real problem. I tried several anti-static measures- including the Milty zero stat gun on the LPs, but nothing worked. I since I was not using an external phono preamp, there was no obvious location to connect the grounding wire. I tried connecting it to multiple locations on my stereo (including the AM radio antenna ground), but this did not work. Finally, I learned that my powerstrip/surge protector had coaxial hook ups and that their outer surfaces could be used for sufficient grounding. I used electrical tape to connect a grounding line between the DP-400 and the outside of one of the coaxial ports and... it was a miracle! Static build up was drastically reduced and the subtle 120Hz hum was completely eliminated. Perhaps it was my naivety that caused this problem in the first place, but sometimes these issues don't have an obvious solution. Hopefully this testimony will help. All in all, I'm satisfied with the DP-400 and would certainly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade beyond an entry-level system- and especially at this price.

How easy is it to remove the four feet on the Denon DP-400? I'm thinking of using ISO Acoustics ISO-Pucks or their OREA isolators.

Asked by: Doug

There is a Philips head screw in the middle of the foot that fastens it to the turntable, so you just take out that screw to remove each foot.
