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...

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, ...

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 "...

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...

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...

[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 ...

Hi Guy, HAHAHA! yeah, I can see how you can say its similar to burnishing fecal matter. i still think its overly pleasant slow sound (which is still ok through my headphone setup and denon 103) can be improved upon with major sup...

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...

Romy, Just a few notes.... I did use the term "crappy" in the connection with the tonearm in an ironic sense. Have you lived so long among US Americans you lost your sense of irony? Also, i do not suggest crappy Phonostages, merely ones with low inpu...

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 ...

I owned a Luxman LV-117 which I found pretty "right" musically driving some 93dB/w/m JBL's I had eons ago. In its time, there was a LV-103 which was also well regarded, but that I never listened to, so I cannot talk about it. They can ...

Can't say I share your abhorrence of all thing silver. My experiences have been somewhat different. I wouldn't however want to be accused of blinkered partisanship towards any particular brand though so I'll say no more about (some of ) the AN s...

Hi Romy,Well maybe it is that the answer. My mono is pierre clement eb 25 broadcast cartridge, the original not the contemporary remake. The output is extremely high, almost overwhelming my phono amp I have the impression. Also, it tracks very heavy...

I never knew, that the 103 fanatics are ruling the world (ok, not really, but they try) until I made the following:
One of my friends had someone in his area who is a cartridge maker (or repairs them), I ordered 4 Denon 103 R w...

Antonio, I would like to point out that your replied to my post about the 103M cartridge. The 103 and 103M are totally different animals , even contraction-wise. In fact it is shame that they named them as they were the similar model number. Perform...

Starboy,
looking at your reply in the Denon-103 thread, and considering that you are from UK, I conclude that you are well-familiar with Ortofones. Can you tell me more about them?
I never had them personally, I had in past a inexpensive Ortofone ...

I was under impression that the site in its new format was kicked off on June 6 of last yeas but then I realized that it was May 27. So, these days we have one year since the new “audio” version of site was up and running.
Generally, I’m glad with t...
