In Reply to: Denon DL 103 works very will with a medium mass (12 grams) tone arm on my Technics 1200 Mk II... posted by Ivan303 on April 24, 2007 at 16:08:34:
That's interesting,
If that's the case then why does the DL103 need such a high tracking force? (2.5g).I know some of this is due to the conical stylus needing quite a bit of weight but I was under the impression it needs a high force because of it's low compliance and that much force is necessry for the stylus to actually stay in the groove?If Denon measure all of it's cartridge compliances at 100 Hz then the DL304's compliance (quoted as 14 x 10-6 cm) much be massively high at 10 Hz, and the cartridge a bad match with the Ittok as the arm/cartridge resonnance is much lower than I even thought, and prone to being excited by record warps. Indeed the suspension on the DL304 is very very springy and soft, and it will track at 1.2g or even less.
