I think I prefer the 301 over the 103. I have been using a 103 of one form or the other for decades. The 301 just has a lot more texture and nuance while the 103 editorializes things (it leaves in the most critical stuff and overlooks the nuance to some degree which is not all that bad). I still really like the 103 but am enjoying the change.
I also really like operating the 160, it is more fun to use then my Well Tempered. The WT feels extremely inert, the arm feels dead and damped and it is almost boring to use. The 160 feels like operating a vintage car, you get a sense that you are operating a mechanical device with switches, springs, motor etc. In contrast, the WT is like almost like a silent, dead, black hole of a device. The sound of the 160/Grace 707/301 is really surprisingly good although in an absolute sense the WT is better.
I ordered another 301 for the WT, it should be interesting to see how the WT Reference arm handles the high compliance 301/II.
