I'm Mike.
31g? Wow that's heavy. I'm like you, I'd like to know how it sounds next to a standard 103. That Boron cantilever is the stuff! I've always wanted a Boron cantilever!

Having used the "triggers broom" 103 for a while, I am tempted to try a standard 103. The idea will be to run it as is, and then have a go at putting it in a nice aluminium body I have lying around.
The question is, 103 or 103R?
I am looking at buying one towards the end of the month, so if anybody is thinking about getting rid of one, please let me know.

Well.... I have a spare (minty) DL-103 C1 you could have at a good price, which trust me, roasts the stock 103 or 103R. And as you know, I know my Denons!
Interesting (albeit short) thread on Lenco Heaven on the 'C1' here: http://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/ind...?topic=15971.0
Just PM me if you're interested. It's a *superb* cartridge, Kev
