Thanks for the info all. At the time I was using a Van Alstine solid state preamp. It definitely had enough volume. Evidently the phono stage could handle the low output of the Denon.

Denon 103 output--Step-up needed?
Greetings All,
Back in the day, I had a Denon 103 that I used without a MC step-up and had no problems. At the time, if I remember correctly, it was sold to me as a high output MC. Thinking that I would like to try another, I checked the specs of the new one, and it seems that the output is too low to to use without a step-up.
Has the output of the 103 changed or is it high enough that I don't need a step-up?
