The DP-6000...

Is one of Denon's all time best motor assemblies. It is sold as a motor only and the end result depends on the plinth that the motor is mounted in and the tonearm combined with the motor and plinth.

The DP-6000 is part of a series of motor only high end DD turntables sold by Denon in the 1970s (eg DP-5000, DP-3000, DP-2000, D-1000). It is in the same league as the Technics SP-10 models and justifies the addition of a very high quality arm. I cannot give an opinion on the Project arm but personally I would opt for a Technics EPA-100 or something equivalent.

The DP-6000 is getting very old and will require a recapping to keep the unit in working order. At its age this is not an elective step and the sooner you get it to a repair shop for a recap job, the better off you will be.

The DP-6000 sells for $500-$800 in Japan depending on quality of the unit and can be found in a wide range of plinths and combined with almost any arm you can imagine. The DP-6000 would not be out of place combined with a tonearm that costs thousands of dollars.

You are not likely to get many responses on the DP-6000 on this forum. The DP-6000 was rarely found in the USA and was not a popular model except for professional use.
