Denon Dl-103r is it for real?

I removed my Dynavector XV-1s (long story about the outcome of the sale) to sell to make $$$ for an amp upgrade and bought a new Denon 103r. I'm very surprised at the level of quality sound this low cost cart. lays out in my system. I almost forget how good the Dynavector was!
Anyone else experiance this in their system. Maybe it's my equipment and room but it is just damm good for the money!

I agree, the 103R CAN be a step in audiophile reality. I heard it in some very few top Systems and I have to say, there were moments where i thought --- "must be heard to believe..." when we realize what we get for the price.
Most go the other way, they start with 103 and then they save money for the audiophile ladder...the usual game.
But when you are able to hear differences and you go back from a multi $$$
(and maybe a grossly overrated) cartridge... well, better to deny the own impressions :-)
