What is Denon stylus?

The stylus is the small, pointed tip that is attached to the end of a phono cartridge and comes into contact with the record groove. It is responsible for tracking the undulations of the record groove and converting them into an electrical signal.

Denon, as a company produces a wide range of stylus options for their cartridges. The type of stylus you will need depends on the specific cartridge you are using. Many Denon cartridges use a replaceable stylus, which allows you to replace the stylus if it becomes worn or damaged, instead of having to replace the entire cartridge. Some of the Denon stylus that is available in market are spherical stylus, elliptical stylus, microlinear stylus, and so on. Each of the stylus shape come with different compatibility, sound characteristics and price range.

To find out what stylus is compatible with your Denon cartridge you should check the user manual or visit the Denon website. They should have information on which stylus can be used with specific models of cartridges. In case of replacement, it is best to go for a stylus from the same manufacturer, such as Denon to ensure compatibility and the best performance of the turntable.

High-performance tone-arm and cartridge
Compatible with a wide range of cartridges, the straight arm used by the DP300F offers superior tracking capability. A good quality Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge is included in the package to start with a minimum of confusion.

A phono cartridge is a device that is attached to the end of a tonearm on a turntable and converts the mechanical energy of a record groove into an electrical signal. The MM stands for Moving Magnet, which refers to the type of technology used in the cartridge to generate this electrical signal. In a moving magnet (MM) cartridge, a tiny magnet is attached to the end of a lightweight stylus (or needle) that is embedded in the cartridge. As the stylus traces the record groove, it moves the magnet in relation to a set of fixed coils, which generates an electrical current. The electrical current is then amplified by a phono preamp to produce the audio signal that is sent to your speakers or headphones.

MM cartridges are one of the most common types of cartridges used on turntables. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to find, and they typically have a wide frequency response and a low distortion, which makes them a good choice for most listening situations. Additionally, the output of moving magnet cartridge usually a bit higher and that makes it easy to connect it to an MM input of a stereo receiver or phono preamplifier.
