Denon DL103 Cartridge

Denon designed and built the world's first stereo moving coil cartridge in 1951, and have been masters of the art of cartridge design ever since.

Widely used in the broadcast industry, the Denon DL-103 combines a high quality nude square shank meticulously mounted to Denon's own conical taper aluminum canitlever with a cross-shaped armature. This reduces mass without sacrificing the rich tonal qualities; qualities that are aparent from the first listen. This cartridge boasts independent moving coils, flat frequency response, and a single point suspension system.

Copliance 5 x 10-6cm/dyne (100Hz)
Vertical Tracking Force(g)- 0.3-2.5
Cantilever- Aluminum
Weight 8.5 grams

Full TNT-Audio Review of the DL-103
You see, as opposed to 'modern' sanitised hifi components the DL-103 sounds powerful and enthusiastic. The midrange thrives on instrumental timbres that seem correct and that, simply said, are beautiful to hear. Drums are tight, dynamic, and explosive, and as such one full notch above what I'm used of more expensive cartridges like the MC25FL and the OC9. Brass, woodwinds and brass are breathy and natural.
