Serge,
Did you read my post about the 103M, the 103 mod by The Expert Stylus Company ?
I know 2 people with TT's costing around 20k euros who use the DL103. They both tried "high end" carts and came back to the 103 for the beauty of its mids
My Clearaudio Talismann is based on the 103 also, but in an ebony case, and I must say that the mids are pretty good....
