    Default Denon DL-103C1

    I bought this from Marco to try against my modified DL-103.
    I prefer my modified version, and have probably used it for about 50 hours since I bought it so I am offering this for sale so that someone else can enjoy it.

    It will be packaged in a suitable box for a cartridge, but you only get the cartridge + stylus guard (not pictured).
    It is in good condition, and I will post some better pictures up later.

    There is one for sale on eBay at the moment for £315 (+ import duty if you get stung by customs).
    I want £230 posted for this.

    It was built in 1991. It has a ceramic body (hence the C1) and premium copper windings.

    If the attachment is working, you can see the differences between the 103 variants.

    This is quite a rare cartridge, and easily outperforms the standard 103. Do a google and you will see it is highly regarded member of the 103 family. I am only selling it because it is not the best partner for my tone arm.

    Someone else will get more out of it, as I am not planning on changing my deck for the foreseeable future.
