Guest Mr Thorens Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 2juki from Hong Kong has been a reliable supplier of real carts for me.

Capone Posted October 17, 2014 Author Posted October 17, 2014 I have now purchased a 103r and its on its way to Duc for one of his wooden body mods Now the wait 3
elcamry Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Its worth the wait , enjoy the anticipation .
statman Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Its worth the wait , enjoy the anticipation . A longer wait would be to send the 103 to Expert Stylus in London who will turn it into one of the best cartridges you will hear. The 103 s a good cartridge with a mediocre needle. 1

Guest gmdb Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Maybe in a few years time ,but for now, I will enjoy my new toy Won't go wrong with that wooden body. And worth pointing out that the DL103R is quite a different cartridge to the DL103. Same type of stylus, yes, but the 103R is a much better performer all round (and has different output and impedance specs). I have a DL103 in a wooden body with an elliptical retip by Soundsmith - its very very good, but the DL103R in a wooden body with the original stylus is still better IMO.

lovetube Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 the wait is over . here is your 103R in the kingwood body . i hope you will enjoy it. Thanks Duc 6
a.dent Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I've always wanted to know how the wood is hollowed out. Dremel? Whittling knife? CAD/CAM? Or is it a secret?
Capone Posted October 31, 2014 Author Posted October 31, 2014 This little bundle of joy arrived today Just putting it through its paces at the moment ,the first thing I noticed was the bass, Its deeper and clearer, Im going to have to reconfigure my subs to suit Then ive noticed better overall definition, With each instrument clearly defined. And this should improve a bit more once the cart has settled in Thanks to everyones input and help in helping me decide on this cart And thanks to Duc for the great service and a great product Cheers Capone 4
