Denon DL103R with Shindo Monbrison


Does anybody know if the 103R's 14 ohm DCR is low enough for the Shindo's trannies or not? I have not tried a cart with resistance that high, more like <5 ohms, but would like to try this cheap "giant-killer" cart.

I agree that the Shindo and the Denon 103R (w/o the A23) is only a mediocre combination, and while it "works" it is not great.
Truce.
Have a great evening.
Paulfolbrecht, It seems that Aronsss took time out to respond to a question seem pretty nice of him, cut him some slack. a thank you would not be out of line.Good luck
BTW,if the combo is not a good one in stock configuration, it is probable that a little soldering of a few resistors and maybe a v small cap will make the match work fine. SUTs, like all other transformers, do not have an intrinsic impedance; they reflect the input or output impedance of what they are hooked up to. So, you can probably make it work with a little technical expertise and some parts. You might want to read more on this subject on the Jensen Transformer website. They make available some very informative pdf's on transformer function, free of charge.
Since we are beating a dead horse thread..
You also forgot to add the price of the $600 Shindo interconnect from the stepup to the preamp.

$400 cart + $1k Transformer + $600 interconnect = $2100

That's a pretty nice cart!
