Denon DL-103 and RB303

Vinyl Asylum

Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Currently I'm using a Denon DL-110 on Rega RP3 with great results, but I've also acquired the ubiquitous and acclaimed DL-103 cartridge with a tip that needs replacement. Before I do, however, I'd like to know if the cartridge is ultimately compatible with this arm as the DL-103 is quite a bit heavier than the DL-110 and I've read in here of some issues the 103 has with lighter-weight tonearms. In addition, Rega has re-designed the RB303 and reduced its mass, so the incompatibility issues might be exacerbated?

Basically I'd like to know if anyone is currently using the DL-103 with the RB303 and experiencing no issues insofar as resonance or tracking problems. I'd love to hear from both users and expert's opinions.
