I like the 103 but was not speaking about the cartridge, just about the stylus.

A Denon 103 is actually very quiet in the groove IMHO, as is a Shure conical. BTW, have you tried the nude synthetic Diamond replacement stylii for the Shures? They always seem to be out of stock when I want to order, but they only come as ellipticals.

Now the sound of the motor or compatibility of a low compliance compliance cartridge with a given arm is another matter completely. One would probably not use a very high compliance cartridge like an AT540 in the same arm as a Denon 103 with equivalent results. And I must admit, taste and compatibility is everything, my enthusiasm for the 540 is waning, but it does track like a blood hound on scent.
