Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100
To mesch,  Thanks for the  heads up.  I read several reviews of this cartridge. What is your opinion of its sound quality   I actually owned the original  Blue Point Special, which I renamed the "Blue Plate" Special  It was just too bright......  ... 
Wharfdale's Denton Anniverary spker Any 3 way speaker of similar sound quality?? .
To noromance.....Don't  intend to buy new cables. Though, I will check out your suggestionBTW,  I actually auditioned a pair of Epos 12i  and was very impressed with their sound. It did sound like real music However, that was 11 years ago. Occasio... 
Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100
Ah, noromance. It is not my fault that the choices I listed are prepackage the Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge.  It is even worst that VPI has prepacked the Ortofon 2M Red  with  Traveler and Scout II  or did a few years ago. Does that make any sense?? ...

To dodgealum  Thank you for your recommendation  I have read many positve testimonials about AT OC9MLII cartridge. I know it is expensive  Let me ask you:   Is there a replacement stylus for it that does not cost as much as a airline ticket?? Also...

To raymondo: What outboard phono pre-amp allows  loads up to 400-500 ohms to maximize the Denon 103's potential??.  I have only  seen  loading  standard options of 47 ohms, and 100-200 Ohms but no higher.Our colleague "Mofimadness" has a short lis...

To Mofi madness and varyat  thanks for the information. Unfortunately, the Lounge Audio phono pre-amp is only MM. I am not sure it could do high output  MC's like Sumiko BP-2 or Dynavector 10X5  But I will check with them. The Muiscal Paradise  ph... 
Audience's Ohno speaker cable & interconnect. Entry level fluff or serious cable ??
Thank you for the comment, I know the AQ Rocket 88 gets good reviews.  Can you possibly provide your impressions of its sound quality??  Is the speaker cable smooth on top?? Is the bass tight,  and most important, is it musical, pulling the listen...

To 2channel8  That is what I thought when I ask the question, that is, just looking  for information about the Denons not a mini lecture..  I don't have the money or time to buy and sell cartridges to see which works best In addition, I don't want...

To Chakster:  I did not ask my question to be insulted as indicated by your opening remark to my query   Don't show off your knowledge of a product at my expense or  any another members of this site. It is bad manners and discourteous......Sunnyjim

What is the difference in sound between the Denon 103 and the Denon 103R??  Is it the type of stylus shape?? or better sound quality. Th Denon's MC's  also have notoriously low output... like .030. Even the DL-110 MM  is only 2.0 mV which is low c...

To Mofimadness, have you heard the MP-1P  sold by Musical Paradise???. Their shipping cost is off the scale for such a small box. Also, $499 is hardly bargain basement.  The pre-amp interior circuits and wiring look clean, but who makes this produ... 
Rega RP6 vs Pro Ject 1Xpession Carbon - is there $500 difference
Bairdz....  Boofer is correct about the higher level of the 2Xperience and the pricing.Not to highjack your thread I just want to mention to Boofer that I have not made a decision on the turntable, however, there is a Rega RP6 with their cartridge... 
Rega RP6 vs Pro Ject 1Xpession Carbon - is there $500 difference
The anti-skating on most Rega tables is junk and not accurate.  Check out AG, there is lightly used Project  2Xperience classic which is better than 1Xpereince. It has a Sumiko BP-2 MC with low hours,  and the seller is offering a ton of record ac... 
Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's?
I remember the DQ-10.  I was a salesman in the 1980's in a mid to hi-end audio dealer,.  Good speakers; but, somewhat awkward to set up, and the their stands were crap and did not support the speakers very well.By way of suggestion, don't get caug... 
Conrad Johnson Premier 18LS pre-amp??. Need feedback from owner or former owners
Jafant, Did not audition either;  they are both out of my price range, even used, and neither has a phono stage.  There is an ET-3 on sale on AG for $2495, and a ET-3 SE  for $2995.  According to CJ, and a few reviews I have read, the SE version i...
