it is my understanding based on my online research that the DL-103 is a fantastic cart, but only really shines well with heavy arms. i am not familiar with your arm, yet the DL-160 works well with lighter arms in general.
Denon DL-103 vs. DL-160?
Hello...
I have a Technics SL-1210M5G with a Denon DL-160 cartridge and quite happy with the combo, however, I'm itching to try another cartridge. I have read good things about the Denon DL-103 and can acquire one at a relatively reasonable price.
What would I gain or lose switching from the DL-160 to the DL-103? Are there significant differences between the two cartridges aside from output level? I'm interested in the sonics and soundstage.
Thanks and regards,
Jan
