Denon DL110 High Output Moving Coil Cartridge

I have been an audiophile nut since the 1970's and I've used and tried just about everything audio. I had a few Pioneers and A Realistic Lab 400 Turntable. but when I bought my Denon DP-51F turntable in 1982 I couldn't believe the build quality and just how good this turntable sounded compared to every other one I have owned up until then and here it is 40 years later and it still works like the day I took it out of the box. I have never had to have any servicing done on my Denon DP-51F over 40 years now and it still spins at 33 1/3 & 45 rpm without and fluctuation in speed. It came with the DL-60 Cartridge that began to get extremely hard to find so I had since went with the DL-110 cartridge which has a better high frequency response than the DL-60 at around 10kHz more, now at 10-40kHz with the DL-110, as the DL-60 is 20-30kHz. Although I am very careful with my LP collection, and never play any vinyl that is defective in any way, I have never had a Denon stylus fail on me in any way. The DL-110 sounds as good as cartridges up to 3 times the price. With The DL-110 you will hear the tape hiss from the master reels come out in the vinyl the sound is that clean and pure. I will never use another Denon Is all I will ever put on my DP-47F Those who never tried the DL-110 - I promise you will absolutely love this Cartridge! JoJo

This is the cartridge i alway return to Denon engeenerd this little cartridge to be able to work on a wide range of turntables, It has a vary open clean and sweet sound that comes vary close to some much pricer compatition and the tiny nude eliptical stylus is one that relly gets deep into the grooves and that there able to use a tip of this quility on a cartridge at this price Is truly amazing as other cartridge lines that use a stylus of this fine cut will charge up to 4 times its price.

Mounted this on a Rega RP6. I had to raise the arm because these are taller than the stock Rega cartridge but inputting this direct into an MM input gave me strong, detailed sound across the range. I found no coloration or favoring of bass or treble. Although detailed it isn’t bright or harsh and provides a wide sound stage.

I purchased the turntable some time ago very impressed with all the features. Fully automatic best for me no jumping up at the end of the record.So far works flawlessly. Sounds great after updating the cartridge with higher end one than the stock one provided. No cons that are worthy of mentioning I would recommend this turntable as a good starter player.
