EMIA - The 103 SUT
Two of the ears I trust the most are now producing a custom step up transformer for the Denon DL-103. They have also modified the DL-103 body. I have resisted the temptation of going down the cartridge rabbit hole as I firmly believe therein madness lies. I mainly use the Japanese designed Klipsch MCZ carts or a Denon DL110. I might have to procure a Denon DL103 and give this a try. They have made this path to turntable upgrades incredibly easier. Way to go Jeffrey and Dave.
The legend of the Japanese moving coil cartridge sound is real... We have lived with and loved these cartridges for decades... and now we finally have an all-in-one package that makes it simple to take this big step... no crawling web forums to find out what will work, what you will need, what is compatible with what, and on and on... just add this kit to cart; it has everything you need: a Japanese moving coil cartridge, a hand-wound pair of transformers on nickel cores in their own mumetal shielded enclosures, and even a captive cable so that you do not have to play the audiophile wire game... we can even mount the cartridge on a headshell for you.. just ask... our goal is to make it super simple for you... so that you can just enjoy....
