Denon DL-55 Audiophile MC Cartridge For Turntable Tonearm & SME Headshell

The Denon DL-55 is a classic low-output moving coil (MC) phono cartridge from the early 1980s, known for its detailed sound and excellent value. It features an aluminium cantilever and an elliptical stylus, delivering an open and transparent sound with good dynamics, low distortion, and strong crosstalk performance (typically around -30 dB). Often considered a hidden gem among vintage cartridges, it compares favourably with many modern designs.

This is a low-output moving coil cartridge and requires an MC phono stage or step-up transformer (recommended load of 100Ω or higher). Additional gain may be required when used with a standard MM phono pre-amplifier.

Condition:
This cartridge and stylus have been used.

This setup has been tested, is working well, and sounds great.

Good budget watch
Color: 2926 Silver Stainless Steel/Black Dial
Good watch for a budget, color is good. The pins holding the link together tend to wear out and fall out. Other than that it worked good.

Nice Watch
Color: 5885 Siver Stainless Steel/hon Dial, Color: 5885 Siver Stainless Steel/hon Dial
Nice watch for the money. I've only had it a week but seems to be keeping good time. From 20 feet away might be mistaken for "Trump Time". The watch design is actually a copy of the Rolex Submariner for a whole lot less money. Several watch companies have copied the Submariner. I removed one link at a time when resizing the band. By the time I got to the final link, the supplied tool wasn't working. I had to remove the final link with a hacksaw and pliers.

DIDN'T LAST LONG
Color: 5885 Gold Stainless Steel/Gold Dial
Bought this in June 2025, and only wore it a few times. Recently noticed the time was "off" and the seconds-hand wasn't moving. I thought it sat too long and needed to be wound up. So, I wound...and wound...and wound. Never met any resistance in the crown during clock-wise winding...just continued to spin freely, and the seconds-hand never moved. It's a pretty-looking time piece, but don't waste your money if you expect it to keep time. 👎

Great watch, terrible resizing tool.
Color: 2926 Silver Stainless Steel/Black Dial
Watch is great, feel heavy, looks beautiful in person. It shines pretty heavily. My main issue is with the resizing tool it comes with. It broke when I tried to use it. Be prepared to buy your own like I did. I can’t say how the fit is yet because I can’t wear it yet. It is not easy to set up.
