I am wondering that many people are not aware of the qualities of this legendary Denon DD 100M. Maybe it is because of the long distance to the golden Japanese phono area? I am not sure. But together with the EMT 927 / R 80 this is one of the great master players of the last century.
using vintage gear you sometimes need to make some changes. Here I exchanged the output connectors of the Denon 100 M with new Furutech ones. The change is quite listenable. It also improves the stability.

Eckart,
I’m looking into this one. It’s quite rare. Of course the broad cast frame makes for an exceptionally stable platform. I once owned a Panasonic SP-10, (yes, it had a Panasonic label, not Technics) which also had some success in broadcast but wasn’t built quite so heavy as your Denon. I used my SME 3012 (first addition) with it and it was very nice. Another table I should have kept, and so it goes. =)
Isn’t that where the EMT used to sit? Excellent post!

Norman,
Everything for the 100M what could be done is implemented, new Furutech connectors, a silver litz from AS in the tonearm, quite an expensive carbon platter on top of it – and an excellent cartridge.
The builders of phono tables today are heading into a different direction. The old German and Japanese makers like EMT, Denon, Micro Seiki, Victor-JVC are the ones I prefer – vintage ones of high quality and intelligent functions.
Sometimes I do not understand that people prefer other modern brands which are running into the 30ies or 40ies, just to have a new one!
But this is the world and we need to be happy with our small life on an island …
Best
E.
