MusiKraft med modifisert DL-103

Skrevet av

DL-103 er en klassisk og legendarisk pickup fra Denon. Nå lanserer den kanadiske bedriften MusiKraft en ombygget versjon av denne pickupen.

Syd for Montrèal nær grensen til USA finner vi en liten bedrift startet i 2016 av entusiasten Guy Pelletier. MusiKraft består av en liten kjerne med musikkelskende håndtverkere, og har som filosofi at det ikke nødvendigvis er den klinisk nøytrale gjengivelsen som er den optimale.

De har tatt basis i Denon DL-103, en 55 år gammel MC-pickup som Arve har skrevet en svært dyptpløyende artikkel om. En kjent svakhet med DL-103 er at huset kan gi resonanser, og dette er noe av bakgrunnen for MusiKraft sin lansering. De har jobbet i en lengre periode med å utvikle et spesialkonstruert hus til DL-103. Det innebærer en ombygging som består i at det originale huset må fjernes før kroppen monteres inn i en ny ramme.

DL-103 har eksistert i svært mange tapninger (ref. Arve sin artikkel), men MusiKraft har naturlig nok tatt utgangspunkt i de to variantene som er i produksjon – DL-103 og DL-103R.

Pickuphuset finnes i fire hovedversjoner, med ulike materialer og behandlinger av skjelettet. I tillegg er det en utallig mengde varianter med tre-infill.

Du kan velge om du vil kjøpe huset med pickup (DL-103 / DL-103R), eller bare huset uten pickup.

- Audio MusiKraft announces its official launch -

MusiKraft, the world’s first and only “tweakable” and "customizable" phono cartridge.

Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec (May 9, 2017): Audio MusiKraft announces today the audiophile market entry of its brand new turntable products and online boutique. The MusiKraft shells specifically designed for the Denon DL-103 and DL-103R phono cartridges are all customizable and available in three (3) different metals along with a selection of twenty-four (24) different wood species. Here are some models:

  • S-Al in clear or champagne anodized aluminum: from US $229 (bare, without wood insert, nor cartridge)
  • S-Al-103 in clear or champagne anodized aluminum: from US $539 (kit form including the DL-103)
  • S-AlLi-103 in hand polished aluminum-lithium: from US $739 (kit form including the DL-103)
  • S-Mg-103 in chemical conversion coated magnesium: from US $789 (kit form including the DL-103)

 

The MusiKraft shell is based on the legendary Denon DL-103 phono cartridge. The product has been designed by longtime vinyl aficionados in search of the ultimate. Four years of research and development were invested and during this period many prototypes were realized and voiced. The present shell morphology is the culmination of all this work and offers many advantages to bring the Denon DL-103 to a much higher level of performance, along with personalizing the sound and looks to the audiophile's taste. To adapt the shell, a modification to the original cartridge is required as the shell system replaces the standard plastic casing. When liberated from its plastic casing and merged to the MusiKraft shell system, the customer is then able to hear and exploit the full potential of the classic Denon cartridge.
