XTRProf Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Hi all, Have anyone bought a Denon DL103SA in Singapore or overseas? How much and where you guys bought it at the best price? Thanks.
malsound Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 If I remember correctly it was list in Denon SG website for 900+ when it was still available. It being limited and all not sure you can still get locally but there are still some left on online store. http://www.lpgear.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=LG&Product_Code=DENONDL103SA&Category_Code=DENONCART

Now to decide whether this or the normal one for best value over the wide price difference ............ ;D What you guys think? The SA worth it?
j45yip Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 ...another option is to get a worn but good condition 103 and send to expert stylus to replace the cantilever and retipping ;D Thanks very much for the link.

XTRProf Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 ...another option is to get a worn but good condition 103 and send to expert stylus to replace the cantilever and retipping ;D Oh yeah, hor. Then cost and performance will be about the same or better than a SA depending on what modes we put in. But still SA will lose out in a conical tip and Al cantilever for sure.
j45yip Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 ...don't be so quick to conclude. conical tip has it's alluring signature as well. expert stylus does white sapphire cantilever with their proprietary diamond paratrace tip. will be getting mine back after a 4 months wait :o Oh yeah, hor.

XTRProf Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 expert stylus does white sapphire cantilever with their proprietary diamond paratrace tip. will be getting mine back after a 4 months wait :o Wow, 4 months wait. You send in a 103R or 103? How much you pay for the sapphire cantilever and paratrace tip from Expert Stylus?
j45yip Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 ...the 103, no R. reason for the delay was their grinding machine broke down recently so took them a while to get it up and running again. if the cartridge is fine and the suspension is still in good shape, the mod will cost you 225 pounds (about S$450) Wow, 4 months wait.

boring Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Congrats! You finally bites the bullet to do it. Yes I know it's my fault!
j45yip Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 ...definitely your fault, bro :) last year's NoiSING is poison. in fact, i got in touch with them not long after the event. sent my catridge over end of feb11 and waited ever since :) business must be good. Congrats! You finally bites the bullet to do it. Yes I know it's my fault!

Will like your impression on it after it's ETA at your place. Should be a vastly improved cart from the word go onto the record .......... ;D
j45yip Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 ...you should be able to hear it for yourself during NoiSING 2011(22oct2011) together with the Njfet RIAA phonostage if everything is on schedule. pm me if you want to participate. the 103 has a more engaging midrange over the "r" especially on vocals. ymmv Thanks very much.
