Cartridge for a Denon DP-60L ?
« on: 26 Nov 2015, 03:25 am »
Hell All,
I was able to pick-up a second Denon table, a Denon DP-60l for the upstairs listening room.
(My main room table is a Denon DP-80.) The 60l needs a new cartridge and Needle Doctor
offers the DL-103, the DL-301 MKII and the DL-103R. Which of the three would be the best match for the 60l? Is there another non-Denon cart in the same price range ($200 to $500) that would be better?

My thanks in advance for your time.

Cheers  - and Happy Thanksgiving,
KP

My advice shop those around. ND's prices are stoopid!
Those are all Low output MC's do you have the Pre to run them?
Do you have both arm wands? Nice table I had one long time ago.

I have 2 of those tables.  On one of them I have a dynavector.  Works great.

Thanks Bits. Where should I look besides ND? Yes I have both wands and a pre? If I don't go mc, is there an mm I should consider?
Thanks DMinches. I'll look at the Dynavector.

Juki2 on E bay and LP gear has good correct prices. Juki2 for cartridges, 10 days if that more like 7 working days from China been in business a long time.
If you compare to ND you'll see the stupidity?
I say that because they must think people are really dumb.
Well maybe.......I don't hesitate ordering anywhere. Watch feedback on sellers etc.

Great table and you have all the parts!!!

Check out a Denon DL110 High output MC maybe, around $250 now.
Your other choices need a step up and the extra $$
Just my opinion of course been messing with this for over 40 years.

If you are looking for Juki2, look for 2Juki instead. Thanks for the tip Bacobits1!  :thumb:

I wouldn't have known to look had you not posted. They seem to have some very competitive prices. I just have to wait until after Christmas to work on replenishing funds

What arm/cart on your DP80?  What kind of sound are you looking for with the 60, and what is the phono preamp on that system?

If you're buying a new cart off epay, you won't have a warranty with grey market stuff.  2juki has a good reputation, but I've read a complaint also.

Any price range?

So you are looking at LOMC, correct? I recently switched from Denon-110 (HOMC) to Audio Technica OC9 MKII LOMC, and really like it. I paid 350 at LPGear. Using Technics 1200 with a standard tonearm, not a Denon table, but i do not think it really matters.  I feel like spending $300-500 for a cart is a good idea for a mid-level table like yours and mine.

Check out some used offerings.
Can get some very good buys.
Oc9 ML ll very good cart for the price. See the price on ND?
Exactly my point.
