Commentary
This MC cartridge is the successor to the DL-103LC, which was released in limited edition in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of Japan Columbia.
In response to the request for continued sales of the sold out DL-103LC, the part number was changed to DL-103LCII and released as a long-run model.
LC-OFC wire is used for the coil.
A one point suspension system is adopted for the vibration system, and the center of vibration is made clear by making the vibration system with an ultrafine piano wire.
The cantilever is lightweight and robust thanks to its dual structure and anodized aluminum coating.
Black metallic paint is applied.
Also, the yoke is gold-plated.
High-grade shell stand is included.
