Rated 5 out of 5 by Hugo1967 from DL-103 (A110) The best of the DL-103 cartridges. I'v many since 1975. Always wind up back in the same place. Just like the Quad ESL-57 no match was ever found.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Very Impressed!! Excellent , it’s in great company with a brinkman pii and a koetsu black. My Sheffield Labs , Amanda and America of 2 different albums sound fantastic! I was surprised how good this cartridge is!

Rated 5 out of 5 by pioferro from Liked so much, bought two! The DL-A110 is my favorite cartridge in my collection which includes some $1k plus carts. I like it so much, I bought another one.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mike Q from Great cartridge! I just put the DL-A110 on my DP-400 turntable and it sounds awesome! I’m upgrading from the Ortophone 2M Blue. The DL -A110 digs deeper the lower notes come through cleaner and the sound stage is richer. I was concern the table would be nosy with the power amp but nope, no noise. My TT is plugged into a Pro-Jet Tubebox S2 -> Rotel A12 and out to Martin Logans 35XTI and Rel Sub.

Questions

I have an AVR-X4000 from 2016. Is the phono preamp in the receiver enough to power this cartridge? If not, do you have any recommendations for a phono preamp to work with my AVR-X4000? Thank you.

Asked by: X4000

Hi X4000, The built-in phono pre-amp in the AVR-X4000 supports a moving magnet or high output moving coil cartridge. The DL-A110 is a low output moving coil design. For this you will want an external phono pre-amp. Unfortunately, we don't currently make such a device ourselves. I would suggest looking at models by Graham Slee, Rega, Project and iFi.

I've never heard of a square stylus before ... how does that even read a record's v-shaped groove, and without causing damage?

Asked by: squarebob

Hello, With the DL-A110, when we say '0.2 mm square' we mean the stylus shank is square. The actual diamond tip is spherical in shape.

Will this DL-A110 work and mount with my Denon DP-67L / DP-60M turntables and if so will I need any additional weights for the tonearm? both units are completely stock.

Asked by: Yujiro

Hi Yujiro, It is quite likely the DL-A110 will be okay with your DP-67L and DP-60M turntables as it has rather a light headshell. Unfortunately, we do not have either turntable at hand to be certain.

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.
