I retipped mine with the Sound Smith Optimal Contour which is much more than the basic retip. The results were absolutely stunning. It is the finest sounding cart I have ever heard. I suspect the sweet spot with respect to cost and performance is the $250 ruby/line contact option. I broke mine and plan on going with that option rather than the oc option again. I've read that the DL103 is an outstanding generator with a substandard stylus and body. Replace those two and you have a world class cart at a manageable expense.

IMHO retipping with a better stylus is a no brainer!
