A high-output moving coil cartridge from Denon. At 1.6 mV the DL-110 matches the output of a moving magnet cartridge, so it connects straight to a standard phono input with no step-up transformer or head amplifier.

Denon says it has designed cartridges for over six decades and that the DL-110 is still handspun at its Shirakawa factory in Japan.

Why you will love it

Moving coil, MM-style hookup

Denon says the 1.6 mV output is equivalent to a moving magnet cartridge. There is no need for a head amplifier or step-up transformer, and you connect it directly to the phono terminal of the amplifier.

Denon's site puts it this way: its high output lets you use it interchangeably with a moving magnet phono input.

Vibrating system

Denon uses a traditional cross-shape armature, a dual-construction cantilever and a one-point suspension-wire support at the centre of vibration. A 2-way damping method keeps sound changes from temperature differences to a minimum.

The magnetic circuit is simplified and the body is light at 4.8 g. Denon says this helps the stylus track record warps.

Handspun in Japan

Denon says its turntable cartridges have been produced since the 1960s and are still hand-spun at its audio works factory in Shirakawa, Japan.

Is it right for you?

A great fit if you…

Want a moving coil cartridge without buying a step-up transformer
Have a standard moving magnet phono input
Like a light 4.8 g cartridge

Worth knowing

The magnet is very strong. Denon says it cannot be used with a metal turntable platter, or with players that have magnetic metal plates near the platter or arm
The stylus is delicate. Do not press it with a finger
Denon gives a load resistance of more than 47 kilohms

Build your system

Mount it on a turntable and connect to a stereo amplifier with a phono input.

Same range: Compare with the Denon DL-103 moving coil cartridge or the Denon DL-103R moving coil cartridge
Phono input: Plug into an MM phono input directly
Listening: Connect to a stereo amplifier and speakers

Questions people ask

Does it need a step-up transformer?

No. Denon says the 1.6 mV output is equivalent to a moving magnet cartridge, so you connect it directly to the phono terminal of the amplifier.

What tracking force should I use?

Denon gives 18 mN, which is 1.8 g, with a range of ±3 mN.

Is the stylus replaceable?

If the stylus wears, speak to Denon or a Denon service centre about replacement.

Can I use it on any turntable?

Denon says the magnet is very strong, so it cannot be used with a metallic turntable platter, and some players with magnetic metal plates near the platter or arm are unsuitable.
