Thanks for that honest view. I am using the basic 103 in my 1210 and loved it so much i thought i would buy one for my Orbe. The Orbe being a little more elaborate i was wondering if i should splash out and get the R version. One down side to this would be having to send my phono stage back to NVA for recalibration as at the moment it is set for my 103 and the 103R is only 40 ohms. Your comments are very helpful Trey as if i was honest there is very little i dislike about the standard 103 and extra treble information would not bode well with my Tannoy Dual concentrics.

Most people who like the 103 sound tend to prefer the 103R, FWIW.
