So This Denon DP75 Followed Me Home

DP75 can be found in both 120V and JDM 100V models. The DP80 in 100V only.

If using a Denon plinth, it is worth seeking out the heavier, and more rigid, DK300 single arm plinth, or DK2300 two arm plinth. 

If the rubber bits have not dried out, the Denon tonearms are fantastic. The DA 304 long arm was designed for the DL103 series of cartridges and works quite well with them. The DA 305 is the standard length arm developed from the 304 and is, likewise, a good match to low compliance cartridges.

These are broadcast tonearms, nether have anti-skate, which may be a deal breaker for some. And cueing was an option for the DA 305 and not available on the DA 304. The cueing was called the AL-1 arm lifter.

The DA 308 long arm and DA309 standard length arms are lower effective mass, but have anti-skate, and integral cueing, and they are excellent arms as well.

It was my puppy that followed him home. Sold both 75’s over a two day period. Ther are as many understand fantastic. I  greatly enjoyed my time with them and passed them on to fellow vinyl lovers ! 
my first serious deck was a DP790W with a Grado G2 as I recall…. While I’m off on a new adventure of building arm pods for a Brinkmann Bardo I can assure the 75 and 80 are seriously capable

@neonknight, the only TT I have sold was a sale done with a similarity to your purchase of the DP 75.

I was to visit an audio friend who resides 100 miles from my home.

Through a forum talk, it was made known I had a Japanese Vintage DD TT, which was way beyond my wants, as it was suspected as NOS, factory box present, and not seemingly having been opened prior to my checking the contents.

A forum member wished to see it with the notion that if satisfied, they will make an offer on it. A rural location Farm Shop was selected as a meeting place, about 30 miles from my friends, hence a little detour was done prior to the visit.

The interested party and I stood in a Car Park with Boots Raised, eating Farm Shop purchased Rustic Cuisine. The deal was done, and one Boot emptied with the other becoming laden.

We parted ways, and that was that. Nearly two years later, at an enthusiasts' audio event, I met the Buyer and the TT adorned with a very nice plinth design and SME IV in a room, the owner was chuffed, as it was a risk for them to create, as they were, before this, a sole Garrard 301 user.

Great direct drive stories ! I delivered the dual arm 75 to a thirty something buyer in the parking lot of Silver Platters - Seattle…
