The Kontrapunkt B is a sensible choice. I own one and also Koetsus and Ikedas. Try the 'punkt. Let in run in for about 50 hours and you will start hearing improvements over your already good 103.
Bettering DL 103 ? suggestions ?
Dear Friends I started to take confidence with vinyl via my PT Export + SME 309 + Denon DL 103 MC cart.
I have two objectives now: Objectively improve the already musical 103 and have a higher output cart due to my future phono stage (a DIY Pass Pearl with 40 db gain only)
I actually have a valuable Coph Nia with 60dB and can't imagine to go down to 40 dB.
Which of the following carts will objectively improve the sound quality and solve the gain issue ?
Type of sound requested smooth and natural for jazz reproduction.
Thanks so much
