The Denon DL-103 R is a moving coil (MC) phono cartridge designed for use in vinyl record playback systems. It is known for its high-quality sound reproduction and durability. The DL-103 R features an aluminum body and an elliptical stylus, which helps to minimize record wear and improve tracking performance. This cartridge has a low output voltage, requiring a phono preamp with sufficient gain to amplify the signal for use with a standard line-level audio amplifier.
