Denon DN-S3500 review

Typical price: £600

What is it: Turntable that allows you to manipulate CDs as if they're vinyl records

What we think: Denon has almost nailed it with the DN-S3500. We're fairly confident a blindfolded DJ wouldn't be able to tell the difference

Review summary	The gap between analogue vinyl decks and a digital simulation grows less obvious with each passing year. Denon has dealt up a seriously convincing alternative to the DJ's standard toolkit. For most DJs, even professionals, the DN-S3500 will ably replace analogue decks. For the few that still resist the onslaught of digital, watch out! Denon has made the DN-S3500 a difficult proposition to ignore Read full review	Every once in a while a product comes along that makes us drool like a newborn puppy. The Sonos is to home hi-fi what the iPod was to portable music players. We guarantee that anyone who installs a pair of Zoneplayers in their house is unlikely to leave it again Read full review	With superb sound quality, ridiculously simple setup and a wealth of features to make almost every other streamer bow its head, the Sonos BU150 system excels. It comprises of a ZonePlayer 120 (ZP120), a ZonePlayer 90 (ZP90) and a Sonos Controller, and puts your PC's entire music catalogue -- plus the entire Napster library of 6 million songs -- in any room of your house. Not bad, eh? Read full review	Easy to set-up, a joy to use and a good-looking unit to boot. There's not much to criticise here apart from the lack of support for DRM-protected music. Most audiophiles will be dealing with higher bit rates than any DRM music comes in at the moment, so for some it may be a moot point. The original ZonePlayer set the standard, the ZP80 steals the show Read full review
