T, ‘m glad to see you around. Your position is quite educational although not an unproblematic. I do not agree with some of the points you brought up (I mean that 103-is very low compliance cartridge - 5x10-6 cm/dyne (except D and M), disagree with ...

Folks, This thread caught my attention, because here Romy waxes lyrically about the failings of the Denon Cartridges. Now I only consider ONE Denon worth bothering, the ORIGINAL 103, it is often inaccuratly called 103C. It has a medium compliance (ar...

[quote user="Thorsten"] I did use the term "crappy" in the connection with the tonearm in an ironic sense. Have you lived so long among US Americans you lost your sense of irony? Also, i do not suggest crappy Phonostages, merely ones with low input c...

Hi, [quote user="Romy the Cat"]Eventually!!!! Here is THE subject that actually worth to talk about: how the 103 enrich your sonic prejudices. Be advised that I use the phrase “sonic prejudices” in highly positive light. May I ask you what you like i...

Looking at my site’s stats I find is ridicules that the thread about Denon 103 is so frequently referenced from others sites and that near 50K people have read it. People like to argue out there if was right or wrong about my concussions regardin...

Yes, Paul, I did not think this way but you are very correct. Technics TT, Denon 103 cartridges, Fostex speakers, “single girl with balalaika” music and Adcom CD players are kind of come along all together very well. It is not that I have something t...

Well I'll 'fess up to the possible reason that this thread has had so many hits, I linked it to a thread on another site that has a few 103 owners (and remember for every owner there are many reading/waiting to become disciples due to the "...

T, although I am not in disagreement with what you suggest but I have to admit that your expectation of user applications dose not make sense to me. I’m taking the use of a transformer in a system and getting a result out of it instead of building a ...

Ronny, it does sound interesting, thanks. As they said they were the people who supplied the Red Rose Music speakers with Ribbons? Still, while they called a statement” "Ribbons are excellent but suffer from bad efficiency" as an warranted myth they ...

Like I said before, my favorite analog threads are the Technics threads; but 103 threads run a close second.These folks are downright fervent!Mention the 103 in the same breath with a Technics TT and watch the counter roll blurred until it blows smok...

I have recently received two CDs from a friend who owns a SME turntable, has been using a Van den Hul Colibrí cartridge, and for fun purposes, set up a DL-103 on it (which I own but still have to set up). I have been listening to both recordings, pla...

Antonio, I would like to point out that your replied to my post about the 103M cartridge. The 103 and 103M are totally different animals , even contraction-wise. In fact it is shame that they named them as they were the similar model number. Perform...
