Denon 103R or 304? Sktn77a, well why didn't you just get the 103 retipped? | |
Denon 103R or 304? what Kcc123 said. but with just minimal mods the 103 starts to overtake the 304. put the same amount of money into the 103 as you would pay for the 304 and you have a much better cartridge in the 103. | |
mono switch- off or on? off.with it on it will mix left and right.no need or want to do that with a mono cart. | |
Ditching anti-skate? i have to ask this: if it sounds better without anti-skate, then isn't that better? no matter the technical details. pragmatics apply. | |
Why do old tubes sound better than current tubes? you know. that old time sound. tubey. | |
NAD 533 Rega P2 worth upgrading? best mods i did on my NAD were the better subplatter and glass platter. I also used different bearings in the well.the table suffers from wow which always always bugged me. The better subplatter and heavier glass platter alleviated that almost ent... | |
Denon DL-103R Wood Body Mod I hear you. I got to really like what the ruby/fine line did. It transforms the sound away form the core 103 sound but it is still something that I really like. It was only after getting the elliptical on the aluminum that I became sure about the ... | |
Denon DL-103R Wood Body Mod I have both the Panzerholtz and ebony and both are potted.Which I thinks again makes a difference. The Panzer is on a SS retipped 103: ruby + fine line. The 103 is stock cantilever. Now the Ebony /w stock cantilever is a might dull in comparison t... | |
SUT shootout Impedance match was the main factor in choosing the CineMags for me. Using the DL103 w 40ohms, the Cinemag makes a close match at about 37ohms.I have a switch to toggle between 37 and 150 but the 37 seems a more colorul and settled setting which a... | |
SUT shootout it's nice to see the Cinemag keeping such good company.I am committed to my DL-103 and like reading posts like this. It makes me feel settled on the issue. | |

To mod or not to mod, dac is the question DAC. I modded my NAD C541i /w a few things but was never satisfied until I got a VALAB NOS DAC. NAD mods = http://home.comcast.net/~omaille/audio/NADC541i/nadC541iMods.htmlNOS DAC = http://home.comcast.net/~omaille/audio/valabdac/valabdac.html | |
Review: Grungebuster CD Mat Herbie's Audio Lab Tweak I love this thing. I heard the same improvement.It did have an issue loading. What I did was to open the CDP and raise the top of the thing that holds the CD when in play. The mat would hit that on the way in and scrunch up. Now I can just lay the... | |

What is "rich mans" DL-103? I am with Stanwal suggest on the DL304.This is taking both carts stock, no mods to the 103.The 304 improves on being able to decipher complex threads on large orchestral stuff. It is a little bit less thick in the midrange but the oomph is still t... |
