DL-103 Review

Very smooth response, full bodied. Not highly boosted with high frequency like other cartridges on the market. Comes with a frequency response graph.

DL-103 Review

By Tony M.

Very smooth response, full bodied. Not highly boosted with high frequency like other cartridges on the market. Comes with a frequency response graph.

The DL-103R is an updated version of the classic DL-103. It provides improved sound by using 6N copper coils wound with precision to the cantilever shaft. Sonic improvements over the DL-103 include heightened detail-extraction, more bass depth and enhanced clarity across the board.
