DL-103 Aluminum Headshell SE-10ΣII limited4 (Madagascar Rose) Silverheart Collaboration Special Edition
Elevate your analog listening setup with the SE-10Sigma II limited4 aluminum shell, crafted specifically for the iconic Denon DL-103 MC cartridge. This high-end housing is an exclusive collaboration between ONTOMO Shop and the Japanese artisan workshop Silverheart. The Denon DL-103 is a beloved benchmark in the world of vinyl, and custom shells like this let audiophiles refine its sonic character with a richer, more dynamic sound.
This limited edition combines a precision-machined aluminum body with rare, oil-finished Madagascar Rosewood (the same prized tonewood used in instruments like the Martin D-45 guitar) and hand-polished stainless steel hardware. Porting holes cut into the aluminum frame shave two grams off the standard SE-10Sigma model, bringing the total weight to 18g while revealing a glimpse of crystal red beneath the surface. Inside, it comes pre-wired with premium Nordost NOITA lead wires.
Everyday usability hasn't been overlooked: the recommended tracking force is engraved on the side, a one-touch joint makes installation simple, and the original stylus cover fits without issue. Since it shares the same terminal position as the standard DL-103, it can also be swapped in for other derivative models with ease.
Note that this is a heavyweight shell, so check that your tonearm or sub-weight can accommodate it before ordering.
Measuring 53mm long, 20mm wide, and 19mm high (excluding the joint and finger lift), this item arrives brand new in its original packaging, complete with a screwdriver, two M2.6 screws, and two hex wrenches for precise adjustments. As each shell is handmade to order, shipping may take some time; please check current lead times before purchase.
Silverheart SE-10ΣII limited4, an ONTOMO Shop exclusive heavy-duty aluminum headshell designed for the DENON DL-103 MC cartridge. This limited high-end model features a one-touch joint and a machined aluminum and Madagascar rosewood body. Madagascar rosewood, also known as palisander or genuine rosewood, is a rare, high-value wood used in instruments such as the Martin D-45 guitar.
Compared with the standard SE-10Σ, the aluminum body is reduced by 2 g through perforations, revealing a crystal red interior. The body has an oil-finished figured wood surface, polished stainless-steel components, and tracking-force information engraved on the side. The headshell supports use of the stylus cover during installation and is compatible with DL-103 derivative models with the same body terminal position as the original DL-103.
Internal lead wires use Nordost NOITA cable, formerly called TN25 tonearm inner cable. Dimensions are 53 × 20 × 19 mm, excluding the joint and finger lift. Weight: 18 g.
Includes one screwdriver, two M2.6 screws, and two hex keys, medium for the top cover and small for angle adjustment. Please confirm compatibility with your tonearm and sub-weight, as this is a heavy headshell.
