DENON DL-130,Still a good cartridge?

Have recently received my re-built 103S from Denon and am extremely pleased. As Musicdoc has pointed out... the bass is very good and the midrange is excellent. I have this mounted in an SME series III tonearm and am having great results. I had to adjust for frequency resonance, can't say enough about the help Reg @ SME was and Flat earth audio for the the help.

IMHO the 103 will handily outperform cartridges costing many times its modest price. As pointed out above, the midrange is sublime and the bass tighter than you would believe in this price range. It replaced a Linn Karma in my system and tracks nicely in a Linn Ittok at 2.5 grammes.
This is the conical version, which I found unused on eBay.
The elliptical version, the 103D, tracks at 1.5 grammes and has a slightly more open top end (from distant memory) and is a little more detailed in the mids. Denon does not export the 103 line to the US anymore. You can get the 103D from Galen Carol Audio in TX for a ludicrously low $130 plus shipping. I am buying two more at that price.

Have fun,

Mark

I must correct an error. I mentioned yesterday that Origin Live in the UK and Galen Carl Audio in the US supplies the Denon 103D cartridge. That is incorrect. The 103 with a conical tip is on the only version currently available. Sorry for the confusion.
