What is the appeal of the Denon 103 cartridges?


I know they have been around years. However, I see many music -gear reviewers with super expensive turntables running the Denon 103/103r. I'm thinking of trying one myself, possibly one of the ZU adaptations.

Pretty simple. They can sound absolutely fantastic when set up right and shouldn't break the bank. Been through many carts in my day but discovered the dl103r a good while back finally and it still thrills and captivates years later.  

The appeal is they provide rock solid  sound for reasonable cost in the right setup.

I’m reminded of that every time I fire up my 103R mounted on Linn Basik tonearm on Linn Axis table.
