Denon DL-110 Cartridge

It is compatible with most standard tonearms that accept a 1/2-inch mount headshell. Because it is pre-mounted, you will still need to verify that your tonearm can accommodate the 15.7-gram total weight and that you can set the tracking force to the recommended 1.8g.

Duralumin is a high-strength aluminum alloy known for its rigidity and excellent vibration-damping properties. Using it for the headshell helps minimize unwanted resonance, which keeps the sound cleaner and more articulate compared to standard plastic or lighter metal headshells.

The DL-110 is a high-output moving coil cartridge, meaning it is designed to work with standard moving magnet (MM) phono inputs. You do not need a specialized step-up transformer or a low-output MC preamp to get a strong, clear signal.

The special elliptical shape allows the stylus to track the groove more accurately than a standard conical tip. This results in better high-frequency retrieval and reduced distortion, giving you a more detailed and nuanced listening experience.

Yes. While the cartridge is pre-aligned on the headshell, you must still balance your tonearm and set the tracking force to 1.8g (+/- 0.3g) and adjust the anti-skate settings on your turntable. These final steps are essential for protecting your records and ensuring optimal playback.
