Looking at my site’s stats I find is ridicules that the thread about Denon 103 is so frequently referenced from others sites and that near 50K people have read it. People like to argue out there if was right or wrong about my concussions regardin...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I pulled today from my shelf my collection of earliest Denon PCM recordings on LP the Denon record in end of the 78s. I generally do not like this entire series but the first releases where OK, not as good as then might be...

I have a Fosell transport for some years now I upgraded from a CEC TL-1 which was miles behind...I use an EAD 7000 III DAC which I kept after having both the 9000 and the 7000, the mian difference between them is the preamp section of the 9000, so ...

Yes, Paul, I did not think this way but you are very correct. Technics TT, Denon 103 cartridges, Fostex speakers, “single girl with balalaika” music and Adcom CD players are kind of come along all together very well. It is not that I have something t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm, I just paid attention that The Denon DL-103M is available from Denon for a little over $220 and I feel that it is a very much ultimate Denon among all that I had.[/quote] Well, going through the jungles of the “Denon’s ...

Ed, I never had this cartridge. As I understand the “C” should have identical motor with the 103D but have a different needle profile. I presume that it sounds similar to 103D, doesn’t? Rgs, The caT...

Hello Romy,I guess I'll go for the 103R at a later date - looking at the specs on this one the loading is the same with a lower output,but I'm thinking it might handle those 25min + LP sides better from the opera world etc.Being half Italiano I need ...

[quote user="Ed"]Someone I know has just sent his 103R off to get a ruby cantilever fitted.[/quote]
Why, wasn't stock *H*I*F*I* enough for him?

Hello Romy,Just thought I'd post my latest re-visit to this cartridge.I've played with this overthe last 2 years on and off between Helikon/VDH MC10. It was ok but did not make a big deal,so I carried on with the Lyra which was finebut not what ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] Can't say I share your fondness for either of the Koetsu or Shelter cartridges either (or especially the Denon 103!) None of these are top class in my humble opinion. [/quote] I sorry, I never was a fan of Denon-...

Did you buy the Denon?I'm curious because (speakers not included) is on a recommended components list by the Swedish LTS (Sound Technical Society). Things with zero or low detected coloration, after meticulous listening tests, end up on that con...

The new Denon amps are definitely on the soft side (my sister has one). They have lower wattage than you desire, however (assumed you mean 8 Ohm). The more powerful is in the 1000 € range with nothing in between....

This is the least expensive way to try out Auro 3d that I could find. I'm sure there are others out there.Billhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/305160084120?...

Kids, do not let kids to subscribe the popular audio-freakish myths of the records spinning people about “the extraordinary beauty” of the Denon cartridges. Yes, the myth has some reasons: many more expensive cartridges are bad, very bad for th...

Since the post above was posted I’ve receive a number of emails from the different people who complain about my use of word “Gray” while I described the 103 cartages. Well, I am not completely comfortable with the word “gray” as well. However, ...

Hm, I just paid attention that over 1000 people have reviewed this thread… I’m keep receiving emails form people who feel “insulted” that I did not keep the popular DL103 and DL103R at the level of respect as it treated by those Audiogon intel...

I have recently received two CDs from a friend who owns a SME turntable, has been using a Van den Hul Colibrí cartridge, and for fun purposes, set up a DL-103 on it (which I own but still have to set up). I have been listening to both recordings, pla...

Well I'll 'fess up to the possible reason that this thread has had so many hits, I linked it to a thread on another site that has a few 103 owners (and remember for every owner there are many reading/waiting to become disciples due to the "...

Folks, This thread caught my attention, because here Romy waxes lyrically about the failings of the Denon Cartridges. Now I only consider ONE Denon worth bothering, the ORIGINAL 103, it is often inaccuratly called 103C. It has a medium compliance (ar...

I relay do not recognize music with this unit – it makes everything to sound absolutely different and very muchwrong. It hard to explain: the notes are there but they have absolutely wrong meaning. It is even funny to hear in which crap the littl...

As far as I know the Matacic discography never was made available. A few weeks ago a fellow at other (more amorphous) forum – Mr. Makopolus - published his list that I find worth to be preserved and publicized. So he is it: the Matacic discogra...
