What are some high impedance cartridges?


I have a SUT that's for high impedance cartridges like the Denon DL103. What are some really good cartridges that are also high impedance?

Depends also on phono stage gain and linestage gain, if any, and etc. Many use the Denon or the Benz with 1:10 SUTs. I assume their downstream components make up for the lowish signal voltage.

No SUT is really “for” a high impedance cartridge, except insofar as high impedance cartridges work best with lower step-up or turns ratios, like 1:10 or less or whatever results in a satisfactory impedance match while also adding enough voltage gain to drive the phono stage. At least that is how I see it.
