I'm still wondering why Denon who makes some great cartridges, doesn't include a phono preamp in their receivers and on the higher end models, why they don't have a MC section. Am I just being selfish?

The only reason I reduced my vinyl playing is the fact that I don't have a microscope to check the stylus on my DL-103d and because it's old enough that I suspect that the stylus' suspension might fail while it's being used.
