technics 1210mk2 Denon DL103 or DL110

[The Walrus]

Hi forum members,
I picked up a Technics 1210mk2 today which a plan to play through my Pro-ject Phono box SEII. I like what i have been reading about the Denon carts but am unsure which would suit the 1210 with stock arm and my phono stage.
DL102 or the DL110?
Any advice would be great.

The DL110 is better suited in terms of compliance.

Very true. Though the DL-103 can also be made to work very well w/ a Sumiko headshell and spacer weight. However I think the Zu DL-103 is THE cartridge to beat on an SL-1200 (within reason, not exactly practical to put a $1000 cart on one, unless heavily modified).

Well I now have the DL-110 and have to say I'm am very impressed. My last cart was the Ortofon 2M Red and the Denon blows it away. The DL-110 has a far greater sound stage and the vocals and instruments are just superb! This is the most I've spent on a cart and it's was worth every penny.
Time to start saving for a new tonearm, an Origin Live maybe?
