Any info on Denon DL-80 MC cartridge??


Hi. I was recently fortunate enough to come across a Denon DP-47f direct drive turntable that had never been used. A serviceman bought it in Japan (I'm guessing in the late 80's) & never opened it. It came with a DL-80 moving coil cartridge. In reading the owner's manual, it indicates that the European-only models came with the DL-160 cartridge, while the UK market only models came with the DL-80 cartridge. The owner's manual states that they are both high output mc cartridges, and the specs listed for both are identical. Anyone know if this is the same as the DL-160, with just a different name for the UK model? Anyone have any info on this cartridge? Sounds great, by the way!

Thanks for the info! I have not heard the DL-160 cartridge, but the DL-80 sounds great. I figure they must be the same or very similar, as I cannot see Denon shorting the UK market. Any more info out there?
