DENON DL-103R DL 103R DL103R PHONO CARTRIDGE

"For the first round-up, I was initially to have received the slightly upscale version of Denon's venerable DL-103 (the "R" version)—favored by none another than Dave Wilson, regardless of price, for its tonal accuracy and overall balance—but instead perhaps due to a communication mix-up, I ended up with the straight DL-103. Whichever model you consider, at $379 and $229 respectively, this true classic, which has been in production since I got into this hobby in the mid-70s, must be counted among audio's most remarkable values."- Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, October 2010, Issue 206, p36

Detailed sound!

Was a bit sceptical about ordering this stylus, but glad to be wrong. A very pleasant sounding replacement. Sound is insanely close to the original, which I still have. Very happy with this purchase. Thank you

Great stylus, came fast.

Not much to say other than it arrived quickly and worked well.

Great product & service

A complete novice, I knew I needed a new stylus for an older Fischer component system. Unsure about what would fit and how to accomplish, I contacted LP Tunes. They answered my query within a day. I sent photos of existing cartridge, recommendations and installation instructions were given, I ordered and it arrived in a timely way. I was able to install the stylus myself and great sound has been restored. Thanks for the prompt response, knowledgeable advice and installation instructions!
