A little background.
The DL-103 is a living legend in audio product history. Denon collaborated with the Japan Broadcasting Corporation Technical Research Laboratories in 1963 to make this extremely reliable, high-performance low-output phono cartridge. As the first moving coil cartridge, the DL-103 will always be the standard of reliability in every aspect, even the price. From quality inspectors at EMI and Decca to recording studios, broadcasters, and music lovers around the world, the DL-103 is synonymous with great sound. The mark of the Denon is excellent tracking, as pops and ticks are pushed farther into the sonic background.
 
The Nitro 1 is our upgraded motor version derived from the DL-103.
 

Why the name Nitro? Well for starters it’s related to the improved motors. Secondly, we wanted to add some “Oomph” to better describe what we were seeking and what we were hearing. These are a few resulting key attributes that best reflect the series name: lively, spontaneous, impactful, realistic, tone right, vibrant, musical, and dare we say, downright impressive.

Since the beginning in 2017 we have demonstrated through many excellent reviews that our First Series design is very unique and figures among the best ranking. Always striving to go further, today with the Nitro Series we are offering what we believe is the best of the best at very competitive pricing.

The new Nitro series is up to now our most advanced cartridge motors.

Beyond the stylus and the cantilever quality, the magnetic field is one of the fundamental properties of the physical cartridge environment. While searching for improvement, our experience shows that upgrading to exotic cantilevers and diamonds does not necessarily emerge to winning results; we were losing some of the cartridge’s intrinsic virtues to faithfully reproduce musicality. We further shifted our research to investigate the magnetic field which we believe is overlooked.  To attain the best sound, our improved motors use an amalgam magnet core composition, and we precisely control how the array interacts within the generator’s critical gap. Most of our studies are based on rigorous trial and error through A/B listening tests.
