Denon DL-103 Audiophile High Quality Moving Coil Cartridge & Stylus W/ Sony HS

Denon DL-103 Audiophile High Quality Moving Coil Cartridge & Stylus W/ Sony Carbon Clad Headshell

The legendary DL-103 moving coil phono cartridge was introduced in 1963 and has since become one of the longest running products in audio history. The DL-103, still used by broadcasters and audiophiles, spawned the development of outstanding MC cartridges that continue to be an indispensable component for music lovers, audiophiles, recording studios, sound professionals and musicians today. Developed in collaboration with the Japan Broadcasting Corporation Technical Research Laboratories as a high-performance, high-reliability phono cartridge for broadcasting purposes.

While other "wonder" cartridges have come and gone, the Denon DL-103 continues to thrive by offering musical rightness. There is no other cartridge that comes close to its legacy. The Denon DL-103 phono cartridge has been in use for a long time in public and commercial AM and FM broadcasting stations. It was used by EMI and Decca as their reference for evaluating LP sound quality. It's been evaluated, reviewed and praised by many publications and end-users.

This is a low output moving coil cartridge therefore you will need additional gain if you use a standard MM phono pre-amplifier.
