Hi BJ!The DL-103R (not the 103 but the same formula applies) is speced by Denon to have an output of 0.25mV@5cm/sec. Cartridges are also speced with the output measured at 3.54cm/sec which is 70% of the first amount. Denon is not the only manufacturer to use 5cm/sec but 3.54cm/sec is a bit more common or standard and when in general other manufacturers are talking about cartridge output and gain etc. 3.54cm/sec is more often assumed.
So "assuming" the output were to be measured at 3.54cm/sec the output is really 0.175mV. And when loaded at the DC resistance the output is halved. Denon and others measure the output at 1000ohm load.
Taking all that into account the input voltage to the phonostage with the 1:36 gain ratio of the SUT is:
0.175mV/2 (0.087mv) * 36 = 3.15mV - perfect for a typical MM input.
Did I answer the question? :-)
Cheers!
