Review: FANTASTIC! Almost surreal sound. Great value. - My second DL-110 and still breaking it in, but wow! Thought i'd put on Supertramps Breakfast in America tonight and it prompted me to review the cartridge! It's simply great for the money. Nice warm low end with decent punch, good mids and the highs are sweet - its the best way to describe them. Not brash and in your face nor lacking in any way, just enough sparkle. It seems well balanced and i find it works well with real band music more than electronic. I've had various other cartridges, Ortofon 2M 'silver' (limited edition silver wound coils with red stylus) upgraded that with the Blue stylus - bye bye a lot of IGD, i then upgraded to the Shure M97xe with the infamous JICO stylus which is amazing, it has plenty of attack but can be fatuiging in a bright system such as mine, especially with female vocals, so I tried this cartridge a while back and loved it. I was hearing the tip degrading and muddying up a bit and so instead of putting my Shure back on, I just bought another one! It's that good! The dl-110 has a more laid back presentation, with better stereo imaging and is just more enjoyable to listen to. It puts the vocals in front of you and the instruments are placed around them, as the seperation is brilliant for a cartridge in this price range. It deals with pops and clicks well, it is quiet on silent passages to the point you can hear the original master tape hiss on some recordings! It plays fantastic with old vinyl too, better than my JICO imo. You can certainly put it on a high end deck circa £700 and it will just shine. It tracks like a demon on my RB300 tonearm, i even gave the deck an accidental knock and it didnt skip, maybe luck but still a good sign! It comes in a really nice display box with good instructions it just has quality written all over it. Simply put I LOVE IT on my system which i believe is classed as bright sounding system, so if you have anything similar to mine it should be a good buy... Rega Planar 3 (80s model) with an RB300 tonearm all sat on an SRM Tech Silentbase. I go through the built in phono stage on a Marantz PM6006 Amp into Kef Q100 speakers and a BK XLS-200 sub to fill in the lows. If it helps, I listen to all sorts of music from the Beatles, through to Pink Floyd, Stevie Ray Vaughan, a bit of Soul and Motown to Foo Fighters and all sorts in between, and a bit of Beastie boys thrown in for good measure!
Review: Carlsberg, don't make hi fi cartridges but if they did they would probably sound like this. - I recently sold my Michell turntable which gave me many years of pleasure. When the gentleman who bought it off a well known auction site came to collect it we got chatting. I told him that I always used the Goldring 1042 cartridge and as much as I loved it this cartridge could be quite unforgiving with old records. He explained that he had been using the Denon DL110 for many years a loved it. The next week I took ownership of a brand new Rega P5 turntable and needed a cartridge for it. I seriously considered the Goldring, the cartridge I am familiar with for many years, but over the years the price has gone up and up to now where it's nearly three hundred pounds. I looked on desertcart and read great reviews about this cartridge. So this and what the gentleman had told me the week before gave me the thinking to ditch the a goldring and get the Denon. Did I do the right thing? I certainly did. I fitted the cartridge to the Rega, which was quite straightforward. Wow! Very impressed indeed. Like most hi fi buffs, I like messing about tweeting this and that. I do agree with other reviews on here that say the ideal weight setting is 1.7gms . I played George Bensons, "Never Give Up On a Good Thing" I was taken back, this wasn't a brand new record but the stylus played it with ease. No serious clicks or crackles, far more forgiving than my old Goldring. I heard vocals I'd never heard before, the stereo separation was fantastic. I went through my large record collection and was never let down with the Denon. I have recently bought a brand new 180gm copy of Wings "Band on The Run" this is a record that is rocky and also very calm and melodic. Once again the Denon sounded great. This is the first time I have had a moving coil cartridge and as moving coils go it is certainly not expensive. It is listed as a high output moving coil. Well this was to me the only grumble if I am being picky. It states the cartridge can be played through the MM setting on the phono stage. It can but I found the output quite low. I then tried it with the MC setting and yes far better. The phono stage I am using is a Musical Fidelty so is reasonably acceptable. I wouldn't let this put you off buying this cartridge it's fantastic. Yes, there are better cartridges out there both moving magnet and moving coil, but certainly not at this price. Buy it you won't be disappointed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a difference this made on my system.
*by A***I on 2 November 2024*

When I replaced my original basic head with this unit I was extremely surprised just what a difference this head would make to my system in improving sound quality and clarity from my vinyl collection. It was so good my friend bought one and he said it was like fitting a £500 unit and he is also very impressed.
