Cost no object tonearm for DL-103
i agree with Raul.i have heard and own the FR66s arm and it is very overrated tonearm ever . it didn't worth what is bring and didn't sound as good as for what it worth .for denon 103 cartridge something's like the underrated audio technica AT=150...

Lew.it is an awesome Cartridge. heard it on the Kuzmar 4 point arm . Dynamic is to die for .speed and explosive sound stage . great cartridge by any means .CheersPeter

Moving coil cartridge
i'm with peter on this.later you can upgrade your 103 in one of the wooden body and you will be happier than ever for under $500. keep the extra cash for something's else .good luck 
I can't handle digital after analog light my fire

Tonearm Noise
i think your problem is more likely grounding issue . also check all the headshell wires to make sure they are tight fit to the cartridge pins. 
Has anybody tried the Reed 3P?
Hi Lewm and Geoch.why would ajusting azimuth via the arm wand is the bad thing's ? I always thought adjusting azimuth via the headshell collar is the bad thing's . would you share the night on this.CheersPeter

Turntable and tonearm match
