Rated 5 out of 5 by from Expectations exceeded! This DL-301II exceeded my expectations. I had been using a DL-110 for some time with very good to excellent results. I already expected the upgrade to DL-301II to provide improvements. However, I was pleasantly surprised with significant improvements in all aspects of sound quality. In a word I would describe the soundstage width and depth as massive! I have it mounted to a Technics SL1210GR and my phono stage is a TEAC PE-505. I have it connected using fully balanced with a custom set of RCA to XLR cables; and I have it set to 1.2g with same setting anti-skate. Because the noise floor is so low and this cartridge is so quiet, the music flows with effortlessness! The music is very palpable and engaging!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My favorite cartridge. I have 13. Cartridge with excellent sound and unparalleled cost-effectiveness. Better than many expensive cartridges. Works superbly with my Technics SL 1200 MK5.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tremendous value! I have had this cart for about a year and a half. It was mounted briefly on a U-Turn Orbit TT and subsequently switched to a new MoFi Ultradeck. It is far superior to any MM cart I've tried. I have it plugged into an old mini-transformer feeding an Aric Audio all-tube phono stage preamp. It is a very revealing cart and is unforgiving of poorly-recorded vinyl or of used vinyl in rough condition. The Ultradeck/DL-301 is for my good stuff. The Orbit/MM cart is for the rougher vinyl in my collection. Different horses for different courses...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great smooth sound for older records Mounted this to a Thorens TD125 mkii with an SME 3009 tone arm. At 1.37gm tracking into a MM input there was enough output to use direct but the sound was boxy and muted. A home built SUT to get the right capacitance made a huge difference. It increased volume but really opened up the sound stage, clarity and added detail. It brought the Thorens very close to my Rega RP6 but still a softer sound that works great for some older content.

Does it work on shellac 78 rpm?

Asked by: EmilioKiara
Hello, Unfortunately, none of our cartridges are compatible with 78 shellac playback. The groove of an LP is much narrower than the groove of a 78 rpm record. Therefore, you will need a specific cartridge for playing 78s. LP Gear (online store) have a selection of cartridges which support the playback of 78 rpm records.
