Denon DL-110 Phono Cartridge (MC) Denon DL-110 High Output Moving Coil Cartridge, Less than 100 hours running time. To get the maximum enjoyment out of your vinyl collection, check out the DL-110 phono cartridge. Its high output allows you to use it interchangeably with a moving magnet phono input. The DL-110 has a way of getting into the grooves and extracting the information contained therein with total authority. Specifications Output Voltage 1.6 mV Frequency Range 20 Hz - 45 kHz Output Impedance 160 Ohms Weight 4.8 g Condition: excellent Payme
The "unknown condition" notation is a red flag that undermines confidence in this AUD$210 asking price. Against your database median of AUD$223, this appears competitively positioned, but without clarity on whether the cartridge tracks properly, the stylus shows wear, or the output is clean, you're essentially buying blind. For a Denon DL-110—a solid mid-tier moving magnet that typically trades used between AUD$180–AUD$260 depending on condition—this lands in fair territory if the unit is genuinely clean, but it could represent poor value if there's undisclosed wear or damage. The price sits below your 75th percentile, which suggests the seller may be pricing defensively around the condition uncertainty.
Before committing, request specific details: has the stylus been recently replaced or inspected under magnification, does it track at recommended force without skating, and is the output level consistent across both channels? Ask for photos of the cartridge body and stylus, and confirm all original hardware is included. The DL-110 is robust, but a worn stylus will degrade sound quality immediately and cost AUD$40–AUD$80 to remedy, so that's your biggest variable here.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Denon traces its origins to 1910, when American entrepreneur Frederick Whitney Horn founded Japan's first audio equipment company, Nipponophone, initially focused on gramophones and records. The Denon brand emerged in 1939 from the merger of Japan Denki Onkyo—combining "den" for electricity and "on" for sound—with other entities, marking a shift toward professional audio development. This heritage includes pioneering Japan's first professional disc recorder in 1945, used to capture Emperor Hirohito's voice, and launching the nation's first long-playing records in 1951.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of hi-fi categories, from amplifiers, turntables, and tuners to loudspeakers, cassette decks, and phono cartridges. Denon's innovations extend to digital frontiers, such as the world's first practical PCM recorder in the early 1970s, the inaugural CD player in 1981, and early home theater systems with Dolby Digital in 1995. Today, its lineup encompasses AV receivers, headphones, wireless streaming solutions like HEOS, and high-channel processors, blending professional-grade components with consumer accessibility.
Denon holds a commanding position as a mid-to-high-end mainstay in the hi-fi market, revered for its blend of technological firsts, robust build quality, and balanced sound signatures that appeal to discerning enthusiasts. No longer a vintage collector's niche, it competes confidently against premium rivals, backed by over a century of audio leadership and strategic partnerships like its merger with Marantz.
