PBN Updates Denon Direct Drive Turntables
While PBN still offers its curvaceous version of VPI's Classic Direct Drive turntable, designer Peter Noerbaek's current obsession is buying up vintage Denon DP-2000, 3000, 6000 and 80 direct drive turntables and completely rebuilding them.
Noerbaek refurbishes the motor drive and produces a new servo-control mechanism and push button controller. The original encoder-containing platter must be retained. The unit goes into one of his sculpted multi-layer wooden plinths. Prices range from $5000-$10,000 without arm, depending upon the Denon model. The base model with Jelco arm costs $5500.
