      I Love This Cartridge!!!!

      This is my second DL-103 installed on a VPI Aries turntable. Although the Aries is a fantastic turntable, it doesn't always work well with some cartridges. With this turntable, the DL-103 has next to no phono hum and sounds incredible and it's not even broken in yet. What everyone's saying about this cartridge is true. It really does play rings around cartridges twice the price. It's a moving coil cartridge so you will probably need a step-up transformer. I have a Ortofon ST-80 which does the job. They're others so do your research. I'm also using a DL-103 with the classic Thorens TD-124 which also sounds fantastic. Again, for the price of this cartridge, you can't beat it with a baseball bat!!! Break out your plastic and get your click on. You won't be sorry.

      Denon DL 103

      I'm not sure what I can add to what is already one of the most affordable, icon stereo carts ever. This is my 2nd one and I modded it with a wooden snake wood body but before I did I mounted it up and gave it a spin in stock form and it sounded superb! So much so that I was hesitant to go thru with the mod but seeing how I had the snake wood body, I was pretty much committed. After doing the transplant mod it took on another level of greatness that I had hoped for. All of the wonderful qualities that has made this cart so enduring for so many years remained but with more authority. I have a tiger wood wooden body on the way and will be looking for a great deal on another DL-103!

      Excellent Cartridge!

      Warm, not harsh, has bottom end authority! It is “Low Compliance” which means it’s for higher-mass tonearm so make sure to add a weight to your headshell if you tonearm is not high mass. Also you need a Moving Coil phono pre amp or step-up transformer. Get one of the vintage Denon AU320’s on EBay before the price goes crazy on those.

      Bringing back to life a dead cartridge

      Had my broken DL-103r re-tipped after a broken cantilever accident and I'm very happy with it. Job was done very professionally, everything is straight (you'll be surprised...), balanced, cleaned and to speck. The diamond is of good quality, and as expected for the price. It was also done quickly, and communication and advice was great. Just had it compared with a regular 103r: a) Compliance is the same - which is important to know. Both the regular and the re-tipped cartridges resonance on a Lenco arm at a good 8.5 Hz, putting the compliance at 10-11 Cu (at 10Hz). b) Sonically, it's a changed beast - the cart lost some of it's full-bodied warmth, and got a distinctive gain in details and sound-stage. Still musical and easy on the ear. would I do it again with a broken/worned ...

      Denon DL103

      Best mc for the price. It has better noise suppression than my Shure V15 iii. I cannot justify to get Benz Micro Gold, which is better sounding but 4 times more money. I enjoy more with records than CD, which do seemed not as lively sounding. Highs and Base are better from records, which sounded crisp and accurate, as said those recording are from the 70's.
