Willie,
It is on my second turntable system that I do not use very much. It has plenty of quiet gain for your Denon cartridge.
The dynamics are good and so is the imaging. It is not as good as my Art Audio Vinyl One or the Fosgate Phono (it preceded the Art Audio).
It did not replace anything, just an add on for the second TT. Take a look at my system.
You can find the F-117 used occasionally (they go fast) and they are easy to resell.
I suggest being patient and buying a used model for your system. It is easy to resell if you don't like it.
Best Regards,
Jim Perry
