As a backup cartridge and its a fine performing cartridge. Its just that it can be considerably better if it also sports a LC tip.

One of these days I have to send the 103R to Peter for a retip so I can have a backup that will serve a bit better. The real surprise is my DL-103M.

That cartridge is a 103 but comes with a boron cantilever and special elliptical stylus. It also has VLOMC in the same range as the DL-S1.

I have tried the 103M with a lot of stepups and headamps and it does have a sound that is pretty nice if you have the proper associated equipment.
