【Includes 40,000 Yen MC Cartridge - Excellent Condition】DENON DP-500M Fully Functional

Released in 2003. This is one of DENON's final models of record players.
It features the same tonearm as the higher-end model 1300MK II (¥198,000), making it a cost-effective choice.
List Price: ¥114,300 (Body ¥82,500 + Cartridge Upgrade ¥31,800)
*Normally, it comes with a cartridge around ¥10,000 called DNS-86, but this unit is equipped with the high-end MC cartridge audio-technica AT-F7 (List Price ¥41,800).
Includes a magnesium alloy headshell.

Rotation, sound output, and operation have been confirmed.
It is in (subjectively) good condition, with only a slight ripple-like mark on a part of the cabinet (slightly below and to the right of the start button). Otherwise, there are no scratches or dirt.
The dust cover has some minor scuffs but no scratches or dirt, and maintains its clarity.
Includes pin cable, ground cable, and adapter for 45 RPM records.
The instruction manual can be downloaded from the internet.

The drive system employs a direct drive method.
The servo circuit uses quartz lock servo, which achieves highly accurate rotation without any center misalignment by controlling the interval of light pulses passing through slits. Furthermore, by adopting a high-torque motor with a torque of 4.5kg-cm, it achieves agile operation with a startup time of 0.3 seconds and stable rotation.

The turntable is a large 331mm diameter aluminum die-cast turntable.
This turntable has been deadened with silicone rubber across its entire underside to improve howling characteristics.
Additionally, the included turntable sheet improves record holding by holographic vibration analysis and features a slight conical taper.

The tonearm incorporates die-cast parts in various sections to enhance rigidity, with deadening treatment applied at key points.

The cabinet is made of MDF material and is finished compactly to increase rigidity and improve acoustic feedback.
Large insulators are used for the feet to suppress external vibrations.
