I bought this from Tom/Montesquieu a little while ago and I've really enjoyed it, but can't see myself unmounting the io now I've got it locked in so may as well sell. Toms words here ... I've added a lot less than 50 hours
Denon 103 with Shibata tip - this was bought off a Japanese chap on eBay (who I also got the 109D from), his skills are top notch and I’ve enjoyed this far more than the various Esco re-tipped 103s I’ve come across. I have it on a brass stabiliser which adds 8g of mass and also stiffens the headshell - again I rate this better than the nude/rebody approach not least it avoids the nerve-wracking bit you get with a nuded tip. Not many hours since I got it (maybe 100 or so) as I have too many cartridges to play with.
