Denon DL-110 MC . DL110 , DL110EM High Output Moving Coil Cartridge ( HOMC )
The DL-110 treads exceptionally lightly on my prized LPs. It has a nimble way of tracing that makes some other cartridges sound like lumbering steamrollers. The DL-110's suspension glides like a Sedan DeVille over heavily modulated passages and slight warps. The Denon DL-110 is a winner. Setup is fuss-free and tracking superb. After a brief break-in period, it goes about its business with an ease and refinement that belies its modest price. If you've been wondering why many audiophiles prefer moving coil designs, you'll find some enlightenment here, but be forewarned—unlike most beer-budget cartridges, the DL-110 exhibits genuine character. Its bigger-than-life sound isn't quite "neutral" and certainly not "warm," but in an age when so many entry-level components are recommendable but bland, isn't it nice to know there's at least one affordable product you'll either love or hate?
