Rookie here. On a whim, I took a plunge yesterday and ordered Denon DL-103 (scheduled to arrive in a week or so). So now I'm gearing up for setting this baby up. My preamp doesn't have phono stage, so I'm looking for a bit of advice on what would be the ideal budget phono/SUT for DL-103?Also, while I have your ear, do I need to break this cart in once it arrives? How many hours?
Lastly, how long does the stylus last on average? My understanding is that it is not possible to replace the stylus in a moving coil cartridge. Is that correct?
Many thanks!
