need some help with Denon DL-103r OR Suggest a different cartridge
had a Denon DL-110 cartridge and liked it and something happened to the stylus and had the money , so bought a new cartridge. picked up a Denon DL-103r, got it all setup and did some adjustments on the SIm Audio Phono preamp and not liking what I am hearing.
I am not sure if a setting on the phono preamp is not right, but dont have nearly the overall volume that I had before and the bass sounds weird now ( speakers are Magnepan 1.7i's and they sound as if the music is distorted ?)
Capacitance : I have set at 0
Resistance : I have set at 470
Gain : I have set at 66
On the tube preamp I have, the builder adds a gain dial on the back to match the amp better, and have tried adjusting that along with the main volume on the preamp and no improvement .
Is there a another setting that I should try ? Or look for a different cartridge ?

The Grado Sonata or Platinum would be a good match for that arm. https://www.needledoctor.com/analog/analog-components/Phono-Cartridges/brand/Grado-Labs You can use this to find out what cartridge will be compatible with your tonearm! http://www.mh-audio.nl/Calculators/RF.html |
