Wiring Assignments for Denon DL103R...Grovel


The Denon DL103R is a fine value and a fine cartridge. The all Japanese instructions with only black and white illustrations leave me without a clue as to the correct wiring assignments for the cartridge clip connectors. I cannot note any colouring on the cartridge I have.

This is a grovel for basic help!

Amandarae and Dan_ed,

That doesn't sound right to me. I agree with Ramond - looking at the back of the cartridge, stylus pointing down, the pins should be:

>Top left=left earth-blue. Top right=right earth-green.
>
>Bottom left= hot-white. Bottom right=hot-red.

On my 103R, top left is marked EL (earth left, i.e. blue), and top right is ER (earth right, i.e. green); bottom left is marked L (left hot, i.e. white), and bottom right is marked R (right hot, i.e. red).

Are yours marked differently?

Patrick
Patrick,

You are right! It should be...

Upper Left...Blue, Upper Right......Green

Bottom Left....White, Bottom Right.....Red

E- and E+ are Earth for Left and Right Channel respectively. While L and R are the positive.

Sorry for the confusion! I double check the documentation of my cartridge and confirmed my mistake.
Yes, you are correct Patrick. That's what I meant when I said I had the right channel but wrong phase. I need better lighting. New eyes wouldn't hurt either. I saw the R and L when I connected mine but I didn't see the E's and assumed the grounds where on on the bottom. So I think we're all in agreement.
