Hi

You'd have to spend a fair bit more to better the sound of the DL-110, although there are those who prefer the DL-160 at around the same price (It's blue while the DL-110 is red)
I have 2 - both on Rega Decks - I've tried the AT-120e and the AT-440MLA but the Denon sounds much better to me.
It's a high output moving coil so you'll probably find you need to turn the volume up a bit more than you would with a moving magnet cartridge but other than that there are no other commments of a negative nature.
I think the price in America is a bit better than over here too

The DL-110 is very good on a Rega.

Cheers,

Hi 67R,
If I can just add my 2penneth!
I recently bought a SAE1000Lt from Canada - lots of talk on these NEW Old stock carts around the blogs - They are brilliant, the best I have heard at this level & only $200, which is a steal.
Try & listen to a few, as different carts will sound better or worse on differing systems, so our 'expert'
views won't always be right for you
Good luck,
GC

The DL160 is no longer in production, which is a pity as it works very well in a Rega arm.
You may also want to include Ortofon's 2M series on your list as many people also like them.

Hi brassnwood

I am off to Calgary, Canada in the Summer.

Do you think it's worth looking out for a SAE1000Lt whilst I am there?

Many Thanks
Dave

Note that the SAE is not in production. and your chances of finding it anywhere else are slim.
