I have not done a comparision of the two but I have been using the Denon Dl-S1 for the last 6 years. I'm on my second DL-S1. It is Denon's top of the line cartridge.
I have been very happy with it. It sounds better than the Carnige I that I was using.
It is a very low output 0.15mV. I added Denon's step-up xfmr (AU-S1) last year and I'm happy with the results.
I feel it is an under rated cartridge. I have never read any reviews on it. It was recommended to me by an audio friend that went to Japan and heard it there.
