Upgrade My Denon DP80 Tonearm


Hello!

So for the last year or so, I have been enjoying my Denon DP80 with a DK300 plinth, DA 402 Long tonearm, and Denon 103 cart. In my (now current) interest in looking at sonic improvements to this set up, I read that the 402 a low mass tonearm and not well suited to the 103. So I began my due diligence on a Denon tonearm that would not require me to drill any new holes in the plinth...a drop in exchange of sorts. Google AI searches suggests that the 307 and 401 would fit this bill, but they look like shorter arms. For those with Denon knowledge, What would you recommend be my next tonearm pursuit, and what about a head shell? The 402 appears to have a proprietary (low mass) one integrated into the arm. I thank you in advance for your time in reading and replies...may they be kind and related to the topic at hand.

I didn't ask you, I asked the OP, and this is the last time I will reply to you as you have still not apologized for your prior 'misinformation' remark.

misinformation from you:

the board is rectangular and the fastening holes are offset, so it is not reversible.

the idea of rotating the board is to be able to drill a new hole for a different arm, and find a clever way to use the old hole.

Civility first, gentlemen. 
No armboard in my plinth, hole only. The center of the mounting hole is 10.5” to spindle, or 266mm, give or take.
