I happen to own a DL 103 with the very same Soundsmith eliptical stylus/aluminum cantilever mod. It is in an "off brand" aluminum body.

Sounds exactly as you would expect it to sound...same drive, pace and Kodachrome reproduction, great dynamics etc.

But it also has a good bit more extended top than the stock unit does....maybe the best $150.00 I ever spent....on hi fi.

I also have a wood body 103R with the next step up stylus/cantilever....it is a wonder....sweet, smooth, but with all the 103 drama and Kodachrome....and light enough to use on my SME 309.
