Audio Technica AT-33PTG vs Denon 103R cartridge

I use the AT 33EV [I have never been able to find out how it is different from the PTG] which is often found on J&R for $400. Two of my friends have bought them after hearing mine. I have used the regular 103 but not the R. I suspect the AT might be a better match for your tone arm but have never used them together. The Denon and AT are both good but sound somewhat different. From my experience with the 103, which is somewhat different than the R, I think the AT would be a little more neutral while the Denon would be a little punchier and more romantic. Either sounds good and both are quite cheap for level of sound quality. Assuming your tone arm likes the R you couldn't go wrong either way.

I've owned/used both for substantial time periods.
This is a "no contest" with the nod going to the AT33PTG.
In my informed opinion it sounds better than the Denon 103R in every way.

Doak has it 100% correct. Sounds better in every way!

AT if you rock,Denon if you classical.
