Re: AT33PTG vs DL103R

Waiting on a AT33 now from Audiocubes to compare to a 103r. Been a week, no shipment notice yet.
If you le the AT33 that much more than the OC9, a 103R amy not be a step up. The 103R is richer, more dynamic, and carries better weeight when compared to the OC9. The OC9 is quicker, and sounds more detailed.
Since I gather the AT33 is warmer, and more fleshed put sounding than the OC9 the end may be about like the 103R.
Simce both like 100 ohm loading and have about the same impdeance comparisons should be fairly easy. The output of the AT is listed as higher, and it has much higher compliance. But the output and compliance of the Denon is higher than the listed numbers. Plus the low imternal impedance means it delivers more voltage when loaded down.
Hope to be able to answer this soon. And agree on the Grado's, tried a Platinum amd a Sonata and sold both. Neither was even as good as the AT OC9 in my system. Too colored and homogenized. Especially the Ref Sonata, needed 47K loading and lomc gain. Not many mc phono will even alllow this.
