Zu Audio modifies the Denon cartridge and it gets great reveiws. Check out the website or call them.
Move from Benz H20 to Denon DL301
I have happily been using a Benz H20 for the last 10 years into a number of different phono preamps (Air Tight ATC-1 preamp, Benz Lucaschek PP1). I somewhat recently acquired a tube phono pre which was built by Tom Tutay of Transition Audio Design. Tom indicated his phono stage has 58.5db of gain that is not switchable and so I really need to switch to a low output MC (.25 to .5 mV). He highly recommends the Denon DL301 II as it offers excellent performance with his phono and is very reasonably priced. Similar in characteristic to the Denon 103D he also has (but no longer available).
The reason for my post is I am trying to get some sense of the type of change moving to the Denon will make. I have a Graham 2.0 on a Basis 2001. The Denon is pretty reasonably priced and would seem like a low risk move. Is anyone familiar with these two cartridges that might offer their opinion?
The rest of my system is Air Tight ATC-2 Pre, McIntosh MC402 amp or Viva Aurora Monos amps driving Green Mountain Continuum 3s. Thanks for your insights
