Well without answering for Pisto Pete from 4 years ago but I will. I would say the Maestro by a long shot. Worth 10X the price of a discounted Denon says it all. I have a Benzm Micro Wood S L and would say its better than the Maestro on my system in my opinion but just got verification from a fellow audiophile that he prefereed the Maestro on my system to the Benz. Go figure. The maestro is not an entry level unit. Probably one of the best MM's you can get I believe whereas the DL-160 is basically scratching the surface in the realm of MC cartridges.
Denon DL 106 vs Clearaudio Maestro Wood
I am interested in hearing from Audiophile/Musicphiles who have experienced both the Denon DL 106 and the Clearaudio Maestro Wood cartridges in their systems for at least 4 months. I would apprieciate responses from those that have high end equipment and not buget gear.
I am not interested in bang for the buck analysis, only in performance comparisons.
Thanks
