Denon DL300, 304

I just ordered a cartride from Origin Live; a Denon DL304 based on Denon's moving coil reputation, price, and specifications. Total cost was right about 200 euros; seems fair enough. Combined with a Dynavector DV6A it should be a nice combination.

Now, has anybody used a DL304 cartridge?

Also, there is another Denon MC cartridge which seems dirt cheap; model number is DL300. Vance Baldwin quoted me 78 bucks for this puppy; it is a low output coil so a step up is required. Anybody have any experience with this?

Regards,
Carl

Has anyone here compared the Denon DL-300 to the Denon DL-110? I currently have the Denon DL-110 and like it a lot I was thinking of trying a different MC Cart for kicks and saw a DL-300 up for grabs. I was researching the DL-300 and found this old thread. I'm wondering if anyone has done a comparison of the DL-300 vs the DL-110 since this thread was last updated. Thanks

I'm using an DL103 on a Rega RB300 with excellent results. Adding 3 grams to the head shell locked it in. Sounds spectacular. I have a DL110 in the package that I ordered before trying the headshell weight. I'm now in no rush to install it as every record I'm playing sounds better than ever.

I am enjoying a DL-300 on an RB300 arm. It is an excellent match. A very well-balanced cartridge, from lows to highs. Pretty good tracker. For $50 USD I am quite pleased. This is one of the last sleeper bargains in LOMC cartridges.
