John. How does the surface noise compare with other cartridges

This has been my question for some time. The last 2 cartridges I have owned have hadline contact (Goldring Elite) and now I have a DV 20 xl.


The first thing that really stood out with the Elite was its lack of sn. The Dv has the same characteristics, only better. I think the new table (Scoutmaster) may be part of the contributing factor with the DV, but my point is that line contact and eliptical are usually better with sn issues.
That said, I REALLY like the lack/absence of sn which were present in the lesser cartridges that I have owned. And I wonder how the 103 would compare with the 2 that I have mentioned in the sn area? Thanks for your input

Another question which comes to mind is how much bearing LOMC has on the issue of SN? IE, the Elite was my first venture into LOMC arena. It was also the most dramatic in lowering the sn. Prior to that I was running a HOMC Goldring Eroica
