A very good Moving Coil audiopile cartridge
As an audiophile enthusiast it's sometimes easy to get confused with what the next step should be to get better music out of your system. I love Vinyl records, and I purchased a Music Hall MMF2.1. Loved it, then upgraded the platter, motor controller and then went to a Ortofon OM40 cartridge. Sounded great and enjoyed it over a year. Then stepped up to the MMF7.1, again a big improvement to the sound. Then I decided to get a VPI Prime table with the printed arm. Before I made the jump of $3000.00 more I wanted to make sure it was going to be worth it, So I asked a dealer if I could have a second OM40 that I owned mounted on a New VPI Prime and bring my old MMF7.1 into the shop and listen to the difference. His answer surprised me, he said no. The reason being the OM40 is a great cartridge, but putting one on the prime would not make a big difference, because the cartridge is the weak link, followed by the phono preamp. So I ordered the Denon DL103r and a Vincent Pho-8 preamp.I also ordered a jeweler's magnifying glasses. After correct installation the 103r really outshines the OM40. I would recommend this cartridge to any one looking to step into the Moving Coil world of cartridges. My next step now is to replace the plastic body of the 103 with an aluminum body and lead pellets to increase it's mass and act as a stabilizer. I am also expecting the delivery of a brand new VPI prime this week, I have realized that the MMF7.1 has taken me as far as it can, it's now time to take the next and maybe final step to better music reproduction.

Upgrade from DL110
I’ve been using a DL110 in my vinyl setup for the past few years. It’s a good cartridge but I know there is better out there. So, I ordered the DL103R after reading positive reviews about it in combination with my turntable. A few days ago, the DL103R arrived! At first, the sound was tinny and lacking in depth. But I know that most cartridges need a good 25-50 hours to break in. So far, it has 11 hours on it and the sound is already opening up nicely. It’s very lush sounding due to the midrange. Also, it has more detail than the DL110 but in a very natural sort of way. And it still has more break in time left before it’s at full performance! If you want to hear and definitely upgrade over the DL110, then get this cartridge!

Quite a step up from moving magnet cartridges
Quite a step up from moving magnet cartridges if you have the right phono preamp that can handle a moving coil cartridge. balanced across the board , smooth but articulate. It is getting better as it breaks in. i have about 8 to 10 hours on it and it is my favorite over the several MM carts that I have. Price is very good and plays like it costs 3 times more. you should try this Cartridge. It has been around for a long tome as the DL-103 and the R is an improvement from that legendary cartridge.

Great MC Cartridge at a Great Price!
The Denon DL-103R moving coil cartridge sounds excellent with a nice low end. I replaced my Orthophon Red with the Denon and noticed a difference in the low end immediately and I've loving the clarity. I have a Pro-Ject Carbon Debut TT with a Pro-Ject Tube Box ii phono amp and a Jolida tube integrated amp. Even though the Denon cartridge has a low output level, the Tube box pre-amp was up to the task and it sounds delightful! Highly recommend this Denon if you're thinking about a MC cartridge.

Denon dl-103r has a very good sound.
This cartridge is Affordable price sound character is very good from high frequency through low frequency. that's why many company try to improve it just like zu audio and paradox and they sell it on the higher price ,and for my opinion why don't dennon just improve it by themselves, and sells it in a special edition.
