DENON 100TH ANNIVERSARY DL-A100 DL A100 DLA100 PHONO CARTRIDGE - LOW OUTPUT MOVING COIL

The Denon DL-A100 cartridge was developed by precisely reproducing the original engineering reference model of the high-performance Japanese standard cartridge DL-103 and elevating its performance, accuracy and musicality by using the latest tuning technologies. All of the coils are hand-wound, with more time taken for the Anniversary model.

In his Stereophile review of the Denon DL-A100 cartridge, Art Dudley found the DL-A100 to be naturally detailed without brightness and imbued with excellent musical flow. In comparison with the DL-103, his experience is that the DL-103 was tubbier in the bass region while the DL-A100 is cleaner down there; the Denon DL-A100 also offered better micro-detail dynamics and resolution. 1

Signatures of Excellence
The DL-A100 features the 100th anniversary special case, and comes with a 5-year warranty and a signed certificate of authenticity from the chief production engineer who had crafted the product. Also included is a beautiful Denon "brand book" that explores the history of one of the leading names in the audio-visual field.

FISHER MT-729 Turntable Replacement Belt
Meredith McFadden (Portland, US)
Belt

Hi guys, I’m sure this belt is just great. I actually need help getting the turntable to turn still. Is there a way that I can be on a phone call or even FaceTime to explain and show what’s going on with this Older turntable with any of your staff?

Good price for the stylus. Arrived quickly and easily. Will be ordering from them again!!

Stylus for Realistic System 1210 turntable
Phillip Pierini (Dumas, US)

Perfect fit, timely delivery, would order from them again

Great cartridge!

The solid low end was a surprise! I generally feel 2 gram tracking force is a bit high but am going with it as specified. I do a lot of LP to digital conversions and this cartridge tracks well on older worn LPs with little inner grove distortion. I did do a realignment as the cartridge/headshell as received was a bit off. The sound is unremarkable which is to say neutral which is a pleasant change from cartridges I’ve used in the past! Overall a great performer especially at this price point. Definitely recommended!

Exactly as described

Part was identical to the worn out original. Had the new one installed in 10 seconds.

Good sounding

A warm, balanced good sounding stylus for the money. Give it a little break in time for best sound.

Excellent Stylus

After I listened to a few records that had playback issues I had to adjust the anti-skate,rebalance the tonearm and adjust the tracking force. I've played back several records with no issues. The sound from this stylus is great you can tell the difference when you hear the upper,lower and mid frequencies.

Sounds fantastic

I upgraded a basic needle to this on my old automatic Technics SL-QD22. Sounds very very good. This is my first time upgrading a needle so I only have the basic needles I have used before as a comparison. Very happy with my purchase.
