I have two of these for sale. BOTH OF THE CARTS NEED CANTILEVER AND DIAMOND. Now here's where you get chance to have a new summer project on an extremely rare cartridge, only 5000 103M's were ever made. My last 103M cost me £450 and that was second hand and with no guarantee of diamond usage of cantilever status. This cartridges can be worked over for less than £400. I'm asking £95 EACH. So, potentially for £500 your going to get the ultimate Denon 103, put your own stamp on it and then have a cart which will easily see off something in the £1000+ ball park.



I have included a full write of the actual cartridges here :-

Andy, you need to put up pics here, directly, not via links (even to those elsewhere on the forum), or in accordance with the rules, your ad will be pulled. You've been here long enough mate, to know how it is.

All you need to do is copy the links in:)

Hmmmm they are still the same carts without cantilevers. I'll post a couple of pics when I get back home. OK.

A couple more pics of the carts. What you see is what you get. Neither of the carts has a box.

Very interesting 103 variants these. I had one some years ago that came on an LP12/Ittok which was quite an unusual combo. I was into 103's at the time so was surprised to learn how very special and different these are to almost all the other 103 variants. I seem to remember they are closer in concept to the DL-S1 than a regular 103 in that they are lower compliance and low output. From a compliance perspective they are much easier to accommodate with medium mass tonearms aren't they?

Very rare indeed :-)
