Denon DL-103R – Moving Coil Cartridge

Denon DL-103R Flagship Moving Coil Phono Cartridge

Highlights & Key Technologies

Moving-coil design
Denon moving-coil cartridges feature a low-mass design that lets the cantilever move more easily, meticulously reproducing even the subtlest details.

Low mass stylus assembly
The DL-103R’s low-mass stylus assembly boasts significant advantages over moving-magnet type assemblies. The result? An extraordinary audio experience with wider dynamics, clearer highs, and tighter transients.

Conical stylus
The DL-103R’s conical tip is easy to set up and ensures optimal contact with record grooves for better tracking, reduced distortion, and enhanced depth and clarity.

Precision wound copper coils
Exceptionally fine-gauge 99.9999% pure 6N copper wire coils are hand-wound with precision to the cantilever shaft for superior imaging and low-frequency retrieval.

Low-compliance design
A low-compliance phono cartridge is easier to implement in a range of turntable setups, ensuring optimal sound quality and stability in every listening session.
