The used to be $250ish a while back, but they jumped a few hundred bucks several years ago. I'm not sure why! e.g. https://www.apollohifi.com.au/denon-dl-110-em-red-moving-coil-phono-cartridge.html Edited April 27 by pete_mac 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambam007 195 Posted April 27 From what I have seen, rrp is $499 everywhere in au. Can be had about $380 importing them yourself. If you search the for sale section here they seem to go for about $250 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prana69 436 Posted April 27 The blue is a great upgrade but to my ears the Denon has better dynamic range. D 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batty 4,596 Posted April 27 Are they still made? or am I thinking that the DL160 was discontinued? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prana69 436 Posted April 27 (edited) 1 minute ago, Batty said: Are they still made? or am I thinking that the DL160 was discontinued? Pretty sure 160 was discontinued. 110 and 103 are the range now. I think you can still buy a new 301 though. Edited April 27 by Prana69 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My Denon TT has an inbuilt phono amp and came with a MM cartridge. If I understand correctly I could replace it with a high output MC but that's not DL-103. I may wait to see if the 110 comes back in stock. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
08Boss302 858 Posted May 3 spewing i missed this. would have grabbed one for my Technics SL1200mkII i think the DL110 is a better match for that arm than the DL103 or DL103r when looking at the VE resonance calc and from what i've read. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Seth 706 Posted May 4 (edited) @08Boss302 Same thing, available in Melbourne on eBay for $285, if that has any appeal. I was thinking about it... Link to the eBay item. Edited May 6 by Uncle Seth link sent to previous poster 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
08Boss302 858 Posted May 6 Thanks @Uncle Seth, I appreciate the heads up. Since that post I actually had another opportunity come my way which I have taken up. Funny how quickly things change in this hobby LOL. $285 delivered is still a cracking price. I just checked amazon since I saw your post and its back on there for $280 delivered, little more expensive than the offer last week but but still "cheap". https://www.amazon.com.au/DENON-DL-110-Phono-Cartridge/dp/B07TNP2Y8P/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=denon&qid=1588726442&sr=8-9 Amazon AU must have done some sort of deal with Denon last week because they had amps and dacs and all sorts of stuff heavily discounted. A mate of mine picked up some great kit for bargain prices. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
