To commemorate Denon's 100 years of audio excellence, their engineers have produced some of the most spectacular audio designs in the company's history. Denon's first gramophone was literally built 100 years ago and with reverence and respect Denon's engineers have produced these new, definitive, audio components of exceptional excellence destined to become desirable classics.

The Denon direct drive motor, first introduced in 1970 and perfected over 40 years, ensures quick start-up and accurate rotational speed, so you can enjoying superior sound quality right away. A quartz lock servo keeps the precise rotational speed of your turntable. The tone arm's aluminum die-cast base can be adjusted to a height in the range of 6mm, allowing you to have it in the exact position you need it in. The DP-A100's customized tonearm is mounted on a large aluminum die-cast base and can be adjusted to a height in the range of 6mm, allowing exact position adjustment for optimal LP playback. The tonearm also comes with a machined aluminum head shell which further reduces unwanted vibration. Custom wiring of exceptional electrical conductivity is used inside the arm from cartridge pins to the RCA plugs.
