Denon DL-103R

An exceptionally engineered, robust MC cartridge, which since its introduction in 2006 has conquered a permanent place among the high-end cartridges and offers a fantastic price/performance ratio. Compared to its brother, the studio classic DL-103, the coils in the DL-103R are wound from a particularly pure copper and the number of windings is reduced. In this way, the moving mass can be significantly reduced and the internal resistance halved. The result: excellent resolution and very dynamic reproduction. The DL-103R finds its ideal partner in good, medium to heavy tonearms and high quality phono preamps.
