@chakster : The 103D was higher compliance than the 103C (conical) and 103R (different internal impedance). I have both!

The 103D was higher compliance than the 103C Thanks. My memory passed the test, i was correct. Isn’t the Ortofon SPU has a richer sound than all those Denods 103 ? My personal recomendation for low compliance cartridge lovers is the Fidelity-Reseach FR-7f and FR-7fz for superheavy tonearms or PMC-3 for high or mid mass tonearms. In my opinion FR’s Air Core Coil and overall sound presentation along with the great "Vital" Stylus Profile is superb compared to any low compliance cartridge i’ve ever tried (including some of the best SPU like Royal G). I was so impressed by the sound of low compliance Fidelity-Research carts than i bought Ikeda 9 III after chatting with @nandric about those cantilever-less design. Someone has mentioned Lustre GST-801 tonearm and i can vote for it too, great arm! |
I can recommend pairing a Denon DL-103R with the very under rated Victor UA-7082 tonearm. This is what i'm using now with Victor MC-L10, but subweight is required. I've seen people using it even with SPU. The short version (UA-7045) should work perfectly too. Beautiful tonearm, i have boxed UA-7045 (NOS), This arm is better for MM cartridges in my opinion. |
