Hi Ron,

Remember that the 103 you've got is not a bog standard 103, it's a very rare 103-M with a special elliptical stylus, as shown here (search on 'Denon DL-103M'):

For potential buyers, I know this cartridge very well and it's rather special. It has a much more detailed and refined presentation compared to the standard 103 due to its stylus profile.

For anyone looking for a truly superb cartridge that will comfortably compete with many much more expensive high-end MC designs on the market today, I suggest you snap this one up A.S.A.P. If I didn't have so many cartridges at the moment I'd be tempted myself!

For LP12 lovers, I can vouch for this particular deck having seen and heard it - it's as minty a second-hand 'classic' LP12 as you're likely to get, including the Ittok.

Marco.
