The Great Denon DL103 Debate...

[Colin]

why would a bridge dweller want to try anything,

[muffinman]

Have you tried one?

if i may use an 'outside a pub at closing time' analogy - leave it dave, it ain't worth it

[Dave Cawley]

I think you are right muffinman! It does remind me of another thread, and well, you know?

the DL 103 is ok for pop and rock but unsuitable for classical music

err ... you what?

Not in my book, it isn't! the 103 has a wonderful rich tonality that does classical very nicely, thanks!

You really have to remember that you can buy these for £90 delivered in the UK! Sure you can get better carts and/or easier ones to get the best out of - but for £90 I cannot think of another cart I would rather use on classical.

where?

[jandl100]

Harrow Audio - that's where I got mine a few weeks back. Next day delivery, too. Great service - although the website didn't work properly, so I phoned them up. Very friendly and helpful. 10/10.

..................which is why it is considered a low-end/entry-level cartridge as I somehow stated in my first post in this thread.

I have, however, difficult to think of another cartridge that I would try to avoid more than the DL-103 for classical music.

IF I was forced to listen classical music with this cartridge, it should be either solos, duos or trios. Any more instruments and world war VIII would for sure break loose in any set-up.

It's a general forum rule - and just plain good manners - not to start name-calling or insulting other forum members choice of system or hearing ability if they do not happen to share your point of view.
