Hi,

I have tried both the denon dl103 lomc and benz micro mc20e2 homc.  The benz is easier to use because it doesn't need a step up transformer and can be used with a regular phonostage.

It sounds just as good.

Regards

I have a Denon 103r. It is a great cartridge that also can be improved through tweaking. As stated earlier, it is a fairly low output cartridge (~.236mv) so you have to make sure you have the gain necessary in your phonostage.
