Review: Dynavector KARAT 23 R Cartridge
Don't forget about the cartridge that was even more dear at that time and that was the Dynavector Diamond. There was the Ruby cantilever and then there was the Diamond! It was a bit pricier.My Ruby (on a TD160 Super/Grace 707 which the ex has) was...

Denon DL300, 304
Tany experience with the DL301? The specs look more like a 103D; ie, lighter cartridge, more compliance. Price is certainly right when compared with things like a Dynavector DV17 Mk2 even used.For people considering buying a Denon cartridge: Audio... 
Denon DL300, 304
In any event I ordered a DL103R and a DL301 today so it will be interesting to see how they both sound. 
Best auto-lift/shutoff turntables?
Ordered a new DP47F denon along with a DL300 Denon MC cartridge. That'll keep me busy.

Denon DL300, 304
I ordered a DL304 from Origin Live rather than the DL103 as the 304 is more compliant and lighter. My tonearm is a RB300 on an Audio Note table and a coming Denon DP47F. Most people have said the RB300 is not optimal for a DL103; a DL103D or DL103... 
Fully Automatic Tables
There are more than a couple of the SL Technics series that are full automatics. The 1600 is one such beast and there are others. I have no idea of the relative quality of the technics table, however; history shows it pretty durable in any event.F...

Is there any DVD not CD transport
I just sold a Vecteur L4.2 as I don't listen to CDs all that much anymore since I acquired a turntable. Having said that I still require a replacement for my ageing Marantz CD63II and would like a DVD unit so I can replace the Pioneer DV302 DVD pl... 
Best auto-lift/shutoff turntables?
I have the same question as I, clearly, not sophisticated enough to use a turntable without messing up a needle. I am thinking that an old Yamaha px2 or px3, possibly a PF800 might be the answer. The Dual belt drive turntables were nice units but ... 
Tuner recommendations
I am currently using a Yamaha CT 610 II am/fm tuner that I bought off EBAY for 40 bucks and it sounds darned good. I am moving that to my teenager (with his Dynaco SCA 80) and replacing it with a Yamaha T7 mostly because the T7 has a much lower pr...
