Bass, interestingly, goes even deeper now (not that it was lacking in any way before), but it hits harder and yet still has that infectious bouncy and rhythmic quality to it, which is really addictive, and that I associate in particular with the DL-103, when optimally partnered and set-up. Detail retrieval has also gone up a notch or two.
noticed this thread a few days ago and after marco's description of the cart,i thought i would give it a try as im looking for a new cart and this could possibly fit the bill and for a cheap price.

I have obtained a G800 cart,cost £11,but cannot find any nos styli,and the one that came with it must be worn as the HF sound really bad and can take the fillings out your teeth.

Anyone know where i can obtain a nos or should i just get the modern replacement?
