Yesterday me and my friend visited ProFX Chennai to audition the Denon DP-29F turntable. The showroom manager was not sure about the stock but I told him that I called up the showroom and got an appointment. The sales guys informed him that one piece is available. They made the turntable ready for demo. One guy asked me whether I have any vinyl for audition. They don't have proper vinyls for demo. As far as I remember they have only two vinyls. They played the turntable with Denon amplifier and Polk Audio speakers. The tracks (from a Telugu movie) sound awful and I thought the Denon and Polk Audio perform only to this extent. In a dilemma, I asked the sales guy to play some CDs with the same amp. and speakers. A demo track from Pure Acoustic CD was played and the sound was just great (They have good numbers of demo CDs). I didn't remember the model of the amplifier but its power output is 140W RMS each at 4 ohms (Cost 60K+). The PolkAudio speakers are also 4 ohm speakers.
So finally we were not able to arrive at the sound quality of DP-29F. We started from our office (MEPZ, Tambaram) with excitement to buy the DP-29F but because of the non availability of good vinyls, we came out of the showroom disappointed. Only good thing is that they have the spares for this turntable.
I would suggest forum members that if you want to buy Denon turntables from ProFX, better carry your favorite vinyls or borrow some before you go for audition.
