They're grey market - not from the authorized US distributor. 

That means you have no warranty, but I've read that Comet will replace a defective cart.  It happens, and in one case somebody got a very old sample that looked like it was previously returned.  If Comet stands behind the sale, you wouldn't have much to worry about.  Usually a cart either works or not.  If it's a model worth re-tipping or repairing, you don't need the mfg for that.  Trade in might be a problem.

Well you are correct, but if it has an opened box that is the first indication it may be used.
I have never read of anything you state as complaints.

I have a Denon DL301 MKII on the way.
We'll see.

I have purchased a DL103R in the past and no problems all sealed new.
John Ellison on Audio Asylum has purchased 2  DLS1 with no problems.

I think it was on Karma, someone got a defective cart with an old serial number. 
Comet replaced it.

I bought my Denon there, it arrived in a few days, new in the box, and has worked great.

[tomytoons]

In the past I had another cartridge on order waited 1 month, called and cancelled my order, refunded immediately via phone.
I'll post what happens on the order this time.

Ordered a Denon DL-S1 last week.  I checked order status yesterday. I was happy to see a Fedex tracking #.  Delivery will be this Friday!  When I purchased the Denon, the Comet webpage did show the item in stock.  I'll post my impressions of the DL-S1 once broken in.  Currently using a Ortofon Jubilee.

I have a Cinemag 1131 that should work good with the Denon.  With my Ortofon the 1131 sounds great but has a bit too much gain.  Should be a great match with the Denon.

I waited to order the Denon DL-S1 until it showed in stock.  I just checked the Comet site & the S1 & DL-304 are the only models in stock at this time.  I can't comment on wait times for items not in stock.  The DL-304 is a nice cartridge but a bit more expensive than the DL-110 & 301MK11.  Good luck.

Is the 304 worth double the cost of the 301 ..?

[tomytoons]

I have the 301 II did not use it yet. Is the 304 worth twice the price?
Don't know. Maybe check on comments on the "Asylum".

My question is it as good as my Dyna 10X5?
