I measured a MFSL 200gm to be 2.03mm thick
A 180gm is 1.90mm
A 120gm is 1.72mm
And a "normal" LP ranges from 1.54 to 1.65, perhaps someone has "official" numbers.Anyway going from the "worst case" situation from a 1.54mm to the 2.03mm 200gm the change in VTA is 0.1225 degrees.
Going from a more normal thickness "normal LP" of 1.65mm to a 180gm (1.90mm) the VTA change is 0.0625 degrees. Changing to a 120gm is a VTA change of 0.0175 degrees.
The resulting SRA changes are probably less than that due to ambient temperature changes.
I don't think the DL-103 "magic" has anything to do with the stylus shape.
Cheers!
