Devon Turnbull (OJAS) Collaborates with Denon to Reimagine the DL-103R Moving Coil Cartridge
In collaboration with Devon Turnbull, the Denon DL-103o moving coil phono cartridge contains a DL-103R in a stylish clear case.
Denon has teamed up with Devon Turnbull of OJAS, renowned for his luxury Hi-Fi brand, to reimagine Denon’s DL-103R Flagship Moving Coil Phono Cartridge, as the DL-103o, a limited-edition cartridge which features a transparent casing that showcases its intricate circuitry.
Denon moving-coil cartridges feature a low-mass design that lets the cantilever move more easily, meticulously reproducing the subtlest details.
