Esco cantilever/stylus mods for Zu Denon 103R


I've just learned of this mod a few minutes ago, but I haven't been able to turn up any info as to where and how to acquire this service.

Appreciate the help, thanks, regards,

I have a denon 103r with ebony wood body with the ESC'd Paratrace stylus and sapphire cantilever.

While it raises the performance considerably, it does not compare to my dynavector xv-1s or my Lyra ATLAS, so do not expect miracles as they do not exist.

Hi Spirit. Great to hear you enjoying the cart.

A friend of mine also had a Transfiguration Orpheus. He has a Monaco table with Triplaner.

He bought a Clearaudio Maestro which is around 1k - he too has similar thoughts on the superiority of the Maestro over the Orpheus. He sold his Orpheus.

I am not sure if this says something about the overachieving cheaper cartridges, or the Orpheus being a underachiever. Probably a bit of both.

I am going to have to put the esc'd 103r onto one of my tables again.

Cheers
