The cartridge is a Denon dl103R, I sent it off to soundsmith and got their midlevel retip with the ruby cantilever. I also had them mount the cartridge in a cocobolo body I purchased online. Many recommend replaceing the plastic body on the dl series cartridges with a wood or aluminum body. I love the cocobolo, it gives the cart a nice warm natural tone, a perfect complement to the detail of the soundsmith ruby retip. I plan to get an aluminum body to mount another dl103 I have in. I'd like to compare the retipped dl103 and 103R.
