But even this Denon DL-103D is not easy to find nowadays!
I remember some old posts on audiogon about US Denon and their old stock of 103D, but it’s all gone.
It was introduced in 1977 and discontinued about 20 years later. The main feature is flat frequency response up to 65kHz.
Its special elliptical needle made of 0.1 mm square fine solid diamond is even lighter than DL-103S.
The cantilever has a tapered double structure and the damper is softer than classic 103 or 103R, so the compliance is higher (12cu at 100Hz).
*Output voltage is 0.25mV.
*Channel separation is more than 28 dB.
*Impedance is 33Ω.
*Recommended tracking firce is 1.5g (± 0.2g).
*Frequency response is 20-65,000Hz...
