Hmm, DL103 too bright in your system? I find that odd if the 103 is anything like the DL-103R.
I find the 103R cartridge to be a bit warmer than others I've had including the more 'refined' Dynavector 17D3. That Dyna is more transparent, neutral, and extended to my ear.
You might like the Benz Glider SL which to my ear is warmer and more full-bodied. Do they still make that cartridge or did I read that Benz was going way high-end only... or did they go belly up?
Have you considered the Dynavector DV-20X2 ? I don't own that one but I really like my previous generation DV-20X for it's robust and warmer tone. Of course, the one I have was around $650 new if I recall. The new ones are closer to $1000 I believe.
Just some thoughts.
