Of course, Denon will sound more "natural" in some systems and less so in others. As a replacement for my aging Ortofon OM-30, I'm about to try out a Denon DL-110 cartridge. I've heard it sounds basically similar to the DL-160 but with a slightly warmer sound. So, I guess I'll find out how "natural" Denon sounds in my system. One reason I wanted to try the Denon is because it has a much lower output voltage than the Ortofon does and I'm using Endler Audio passive attenuators as a final preamp stage (following my MM phono stage). Because passive preamps often sound best when they are wide open (and the Denon should allow me to run the Endler's closer to wide open), I'm hoping that the Denon cartridge will be a good synergistic match in my system. And as we know, this hobby is all about good system synergy - right?
