My work horse...

Is a Denon DL-103D with a TOTL SS retip. My backups are a Denon DL-103R (stock) and a Denon DL-103M (stock).

If I ever put my Thorens TD-166II back in use or I mount the SME III on something I'll resurrect the Denon DL-103M for full time use. Its an interesting beast. Its a Denon 103 but it comes with a amorphous boron pipe cantilever and a "special elliptical" stylus(0.07 x 0.14) stock from Denon. That plus its a very low output MC cartridge (0.12 mv/ch) with medium lateral compliance (13 x 10-6 cm/dyne) and it has a metal body with lower mass than than other 103s (5.6gm).

It has a Denon DL-103 model number but its about as far from DL-103 territory as my DL-103D. Maybe a little farther.

I also have a Signet something or the other and a Grado something or the other floating around here somewhere.
