Anyone use a Denon DL-102 mono cart?

I have been looking into maybe getting one of these for my mono setup and was wondering if anyone has any experience with one.

I have been using a DL-102 for about six months and I really like it. Wide, deep soundstage and great dynamics. Best of all, the noise floor on some of my records has dropped or virtually disappeared. Though I do not have another mono cart with which to compare, I prefer the DL-102 over my Shure M3D and V15mkiii in summed mono operation on my AI Modulus 3A. No tracking issues w/ the 102. I have it at 3 gr on my Sme 3012. I do not know why I waited so long to purchase a DL-102 since I have a number of mono jazz lps. The 102 also sounds nice on stereo lps because of the big soundstage. Btw I purchased mine on that auction site from a Japanese vendor. Fast shipping and no hassles. Hope this helps.

I have had one for about 6 to 8 months. I absolutely love it!! I echo the comments above. It is well worth the money.
