    The question then is it worth sinking money into the 103r
    Do you think the mods make the cart to clinical I was hoping to tighten things up with the mods

    I did this a few years ago, makes a big difference to the 103r sound. Well worth the effort IMHO, here's the original thread:

    John, I just fitted today the MIDAS body that Daiwok over on Lenco Heaven sells and so far the difference is well worth it on my regular DL103.



    It's not that hard to do the cutting as long as you have the original cart protector,a sharp knife and take your time.

    The video that Thomas Schick posted is really worth a good few watches as well before you start.

    No I think from what he's posted all the gold ones are gone, now he has the older square edge silver ones I think for €90 and the new rounder edge version which is what I have for €120 but best to check on the traders section on Lenco Heaven
