Denon Dl-103r is it for real?

I removed my Dynavector XV-1s (long story about the outcome of the sale) to sell to make $$$ for an amp upgrade and bought a new Denon 103r. I'm very surprised at the level of quality sound this low cost cart. lays out in my system. I almost forget how good the Dynavector was!
Anyone else experiance this in their system. Maybe it's my equipment and room but it is just damm good for the money!
