first, please gp to the trouble to enter your system in 'inmate systems' and keep it updated periodically when you make a change. that way, one can look at your system and be more able to guide you.
i will put in a vote for the ortofon quintet series as i like ortos as a real value. i read a review in an english mag that complimented the blue quite a bit and i would fo that way myself if i wasn't already well stocked with carts, mounted and unmounted.
the DL103 has a spherical stylus that may just cause the problems you mention in the highs. i always try to stay with a fine line (micro ridge) or elliptical stylus if i can (and do). i coveted the DL103D which had the elliptical but never had a chance at the right price when they were availablle.

Well, from the specs and reviews, the 301 mkII is based on the 103D, so maybe its not too late! Thanks for the reply.
That is the first i had that. The whole appearance of the 301 seems different to me. Did you get your info from Denon literature or another non-denon person? I know that the sonus was directly from the XLM and looked entirely different.
Things aren't always as they seem.

Sorry, I was not being accurate. I meant to say "the 301 mkII 'looks like its' based on" rather than "is based on..." Pure conjecture on my part based on specs, although I believe there is a review somewhere online that draws the same conclusion.
it's still a nice cartridge. and the price is right, especially at the price below:
