You should ask A.J. Conti at Basis if he thinks the Denon would be compatible with a Vector 4 tonearm. I changed from an Origin Live tonearm to a Basis Vector and it made a huge difference with a Shelter cartridge
Cost no object tonearm for DL-103
I know the concept sounds silly to spend top dollars for a tonearm to use with 103, I am just looking for a high quality tonearm to use with cartridges like the Denon, EMT and the likes. I have tried the vintage SME 3012 but it lacked resolution for my taste. My question is, should I look at vintage tonearms like the Fidelity Research FR-64S, EMT 997 etc or are there are modern tonearms that would do better justice to these cartridges ?
