dps turntables

dps - "der Plattenspieler" ("The Turntable") is the brainchild of Mr. Willibald Bauer of Germany.  The dps was conceived as a culmination of his long experience in using and setting up several other turntable brands.  For example, Willi adopted the high torque design.

Main difference between the dps 2 and dps 3 is in the upgraded motor/power supply. To answer the question, yes it is worth the extra outlay in funds. If you havn't heard it then you could happily go through life secure in the knowledge that you have an excellent turntable, in fact one of the very best. However hear the difference the dps 3 makes and you just have to have it, much closer to the master tape than it has any right to be at anything near this price.

The dps 3 gets even closer to the mastertape than the dps 2, allowing the music to emanate from a blacker background than before, more subtle but important venue cue's are apparent and even faster dynamics and stunningly accurate bass.

OUR OPINION

These are turntables that break the rules giving the best aspects of high mass design, bass extension, pitch stability, and a solid presentation allied to the speed and dexterity and life of small platter turntables. It avoids the high mass phenomenon which robs the life from recordings.

The result is in our opinion the best sound quality available in such a compact turntable without the failings of the competition and the highest value for money in the price sector.
