Denon DL-55 2
Brand: Denon
The Denon DL-55 is a vintage cartridge that was manufactured in the mid-1980s. It is a moving magnet (MM) cartridge, which means it uses a small magnet mounted on a cantilever to convert musical vibrations into an electrical signal that is read by a turntable's phono stage.The DL-55 is known for its smooth, detailed, and balanced sound signature. It has a low-output level of approximately 0.3 mV, making it a good fit for high-gain phono stages.The cartridge's stylus is a special design called a Shibata diamond stylus, which has a low tracking force and high compliance. The Shibata stylus generates a high level of detail and resolution in the music, making it an excellent choice for recordings with fine detail and complex instrumentation.Overall, the Denon DL-55 is a high-quality, vintage cartridge that continues to be popular among audiophiles who appreciate its detailed, balanced, and low-distortion sound. However, because it is an older cartridge, its availability and price may vary depending on its condition and rarity.
