Thanks for the info and the personal experiences Iv'e decide to pull the trigger on the new Denon 103R it is ordered on should be on it's way in the morning. I'm also will be on the lookout for a DL-S-1 at a good price 650 to 750. I saw one on audiogon that the signals weren't exact 1/100 difference is that normal and would we be able to tell the difference? Thanks again

Your Phono specification of "low >80db should be enough gain without a step up trani. I ran one at 70db and it sounded fine.
Let us know what you think when it arrives. The DL103R is pretty nice sounding for such an old enduring design.

OK guys have everything I need for amazing sound P5+, GT sub platter, Denon 103R, Herbies mat, Jolida J9+, KWillis protractor cant wait for the weekend. So my question tonight is what null points do you use for your Denon carts Stevenson, baerwald or one of the others? Thanks again

[bacobits]

As discussed elsewhere with my KWillis pro I use the Lofgren grids never Stevenson.

I'm considering a DV20X2-L for my P5, but I can't find it anywhere. I see a DV20X-L for sale on eBay though. The 20X2 is much better than the 20X? Thanks!

Needle Doctor? It says low on the cartridge pict.
Under specifications it lists 2.8 and 0.3 mv out.
Both hi and low output cartridges.
Being USA dealer I don't know how inconvenient that is for you.

Hi bacobits, thank you for your input. I had checked their website, but it seems they do not ship cartridges via USPS First Class (less chance of getting taxed). This is why I'm looking for an eBay seller. Thanks!
