Denon DL-110 Moving Coil Turntable Cartridge, Including Record Player Needle / Stylus for Vinyl Player, High Output, 20Hz - 40,000Hz, 160 Ohms, 1.6mV Output - Red

Product Information

First and foremost the DL-110 produces a much clearer sound than the 2M Red ever did. I was able to notice new details that previously were hidden to my ears, and it is a true delight to experience that. This is, I would say, it's biggest selling point.

The Denon DL110 features a high-output MC design that offers an output level compatible with MM phono inputs on your audio equipment. This unique feature eliminates the need for additional preamps or step-up transformers, thereby simplifying your turntable setup. Superior Sound Quality So when your ready to jump off the snob bandwagon and start to really enjoy the music again, the Denon DL 110 or Denon DL 160 will be waiting for you. After all in the long run this hobby is about the music and not the gear and paranoia that surrounds this hobby. Some of the so called new 180 gram and 200 gram pressings are worse in quality than finding a pristine or good used example from years gone by. There have been very few so called audiophile pressings that are worth the money to buy and some are just horrid sonically. Beware of the new audiophile pressings most are not worth the money spent on them.

Listed below are some of the Albums I used to audition or more precise to reaudition with the Denon DL 110. With the Pro-Ject RPM 1.3 Genie this experience is not very user-friendly, I have to admit, as you only have the option of physically moving the counterweight, which is tightened down with a bolt. Many other record players (including Pro-Ject's) have a counterweight with an adjustment wheel for finer adjustments, so you can more easily set the specific downforce required. Hello, everyone. I've found myself reading these forums quite a bit the past few months as I've acquired some gear and started building towards a decent hi-fi setup. Now I've decided to make an account so I can ask for some advice more directly.

With what we have in analog turntables and software today,with the vast majority of the used LPs to me it just doesn't make sense to spend tons of dollars in this medium,for it is all limited to the source material that is available. The DL-110 is in the same range as the DL-103, financially speaking, and is recommended as a good choice for record players with lighter arms like the one I have. And so I opted to try this one. When did this get so dusty? The sound is wonderful, it seems to play older records much biter that the AT , surface noise oven on old ( 50 year old ) records, is so low , and any scratches that the AT would shout out, are subdued, yet all the detail is there.Apologies for the very long post, but I figured I might as well provide as much information as possible from the start. In a final test, I compared my DL-110/RP3/Sutherland setup to my reference Dynavector 20x20L/Well Tempered Classic TT/VTL 2.5 phonostage setup under the same preamp/amp/speakers rig. My finding is that the performance of the DL-110 rig is right up there with Dyanavector rig. If the Dynavector is a 10/10, then the DL-110 is a 8.75/10 to 9/10. It is that good, at 1/3 the price. Where the Dynavector is better is at resolving details clarity, resolving the “flow and swing” of music, better decay, more delicate details and deeper bass punch. High-Output Moving Coil (MC) Design: Delivers high-quality sound reproduction without the need for additional components Has an elliptical stylus which I've heard is not ideal for ameliorating IGD, nor very merciful on previously-worn grooves.
