Agree with the other comments. The Zu-modified DL-103 is excellent (I have one), but it's not just low-ish in compliance, it's bottom of the barrel low at 5x10-6cm/dyne. Needs a medium-to-high mass arm, and Vinyl Engine shows your Dual arm as not just low mass, but "extremely low mass." You're at one end of the compliance spectrum with your tonearm, and at the far opposite end with the Denon. Unlikely to be a good combination.

Not sure what the cost is on a new and/or better stylus for the Shure, but that may be the most cost effective way to go. If you do go for a new cartridge, I'd recommend you go with a high compliance one (15x10 or higher).
