More bass from DL-304

摘要

I was interested in Michael Merry's comments about the Denon DL-304 cartridge lacking bass [see HFN Jan '15], particularly as in his case the cartridge is used in an SME V arm. I use the same arm and cartridge set-up but on a Garrard 401 turntable and there is certainly no shortage of bass. I suppose you could say the 401 is a contributory factor here. Having said that, a friend of mine uses a DL-304 with a different deck and arm and there is no shortage of bass with his turntable and arm combination, either.
