Review on 🎢 Enhance Your Vinyl Experience with Denon DL-301MK2 Moving Coil Phono Cartridge by Roger Mitchell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I couldn't get the Dynavector to sound good on the Technics table

I've had this cassette for about two weeks now and all I can say is wow! I have a modified KAB Technics 1200 MK2. It has a liquid damper, rewired tonearm, new RCAs and flash lockout. I used to use two cassettes for stereo and 1 for mono. Dynavector 10x5, Denon d160 and AT Mono 3 LP MC (which I bought to hear the Beatles in mono). I've never managed to get a Dynavector to sound good on a Technics table. Sounds great on my Music Hall 5.1 but not on Technics. The Denon DL 301 MK2 is a whole different story. It sounds great. It tracks well. It just works well with Technics. Dynavector was too mechanical and flashy for me at Technics. The Denon sounds very nice and warm with a good amount of detail. One thing I noticed is that you have to set the VTA very low (almost all the way down). Overall I am satisfied with the purchase. I would rate it as a good upgrade over the Denon DL160 and Dynavector for the Technics table if you have a flexible phono stage. HELP. I use a Moon LP110 phono stage.
