Denon DL-110 Hi-Fi Cartridge

High-Output Moving Coil Cartridge for Vinyl Enthusiasts

The Denon DL-110 is a high-output moving coil phono cartridge engineered for listeners who want MC-level detail without committing to a dedicated step-up transformer or MC phono preamp. This model delivers a 1.6 mV output high enough to drive a standard moving magnet phono input directly. That combination of MC precision and MM-friendly output has made it a long-running favorite among vinyl audiophiles and a reference upgrade for mid-tier turntables.

What Sets This Cartridge Apart

Two construction details define its character. First, the elliptical solid diamond stylus is mounted on a lightweight armature with a one-point suspension system, giving the stylus assembly the agility needed to trace complex groove modulations. Second, the Litz-wire coil winding and double-coil construction improve conductivity and signal integrity while keeping moving mass low. Together these elements let the cartridge extract information from the record groove with what Denon describes as "total authority."

Technical Parameters

Specifications are tuned for compatibility with a wide range of medium-mass tonearms and MM-equipped phono stages.

• Weight: 4.8 g — pairs naturally with medium-mass tonearms

Who This Cartridge Is For

The Denon DL-110 is the right choice for vinyl listeners who want the sonic refinement of a moving coil cartridge but own a phono preamp with only an MM input. Owners of Denon DP-series turntables stepping up from a stock cartridge will find it a logical upgrade, while first-time MC buyers get a forgiving entry point thanks to the high-output design.
