with all due respect to some of the posters, my feeling about the denon 103 is that it is an excellent cartridge, but not a good choice for that light weight tone arm. you need at least a medium weight tone arm for that cart to sound right, also you will have to add weight to both the headshell and the counterweight, so you will either have to go with lead tape that looks like hell or an expensive counterweight that will blow your budget.
if i might suggest the best grado you can afford on your budget.
good luck.
