Description: This is one set 100% Brand New Denon DL-103R 0.27mV Low Output MC Phono cartridge. 100% Original Genuine made from Denon, made in Japan and not any fake cartridge. Please check the purchase history and my feedback and then you will know what I am selling. The DL-103R is an updated version of the classic DL-103. It provides improved sound by using 6N copper coils wound with precision to the cantilever shaft. Audio lovers will delight with detail that is brought out by this outstanding phono cartridge. The latter introduced for the Japanese broadcast market in the early 1960s. The original has been improved a number of times since then but the basic layout of 103 looks the same. Think big, black and bulky. This is functionality, not sex appeal. The -R version features much finer precision wound coils which are made from 6N pure copper wire. This accounts for the higher retail cost of nearly $600 US. The cartridge is fairly easy to align in my Nima tonearm thanks to the parallel surfaces of the cartridge body. But it is the usual pain in the arse to mount because this unit is not tapped, which means fiddling with some tiny nuts very close to the body. No puns please. The Denon 103R has a very low output of .25mV. This may require careful system matching with phono preamps and preamplifiers. I used the maximum gain setting of 53 db on my Monolithic Sound phono pre, and had all the juice I would want without excessive noise. Lower gain settings on other units might require a step-up device to be used with this cartridge.
