Hello,
I have a chance to get an unused Denon DL-103D low output moving coil cartridge. I have a Linn LP12 with the Ittok LVII arm. Where I am a bit lost is the question: does this cartridge fit as far as the weight of the arm/cartridge is concerned, it seems that the stiffness of the arm also plays a role, high output, low output, etc?
Thanks in advance.

- Yes, but a 103C would need to have been substantially rebuilt to have as a high a cu figure as a 103D - Timbo in Oz 19:38:59 07/28/15 (0)
- The 103D is a fairly high compliant cartridge, at least as Denon 103's go...... - Ivan303 06:56:04 07/28/15 (12)

- AFAIK the body of a 103D is still made of plastic, might be a bit heavier. - Timbo in Oz 21:39:26 07/28/15 (0)

- Suspension changes would be extra work, no? - Timbo in Oz 14:50:14 07/29/15 (4)

- It is ~ 27Hz @ 10 Hz where most Cart mfrs usually quote their figure. - Timbo in Oz 20:20:56 07/30/15 (0)
