Comparison chart for the Denon MC cartridge family
In brackets and in orange are conflicting values between sources.
There are many other Denon carts for which I have nothing but
the name or much too limited data to be posted properly.
These versions -the list of which is just below- will be added
to this chart whenever enough info has been gathered.
If anyone were to share info on the following, we'd all be very happy :-)

DL-103PRO
DL-103C
DL-103C1

Complete Info about the versions highlited above in yellow can be found
at Holger Trass own analogue-classics.com website. Info is welcome for the other ones :)
