I am really happy with my modified DL-103

I had an OC9ML/II and find that the Sound-Smith re-tipped DL-103 is better in all respects than the AT.

The DL-103 was re-tipped by Sound-Smith after about 500 hrs of use with the $250 job (consisting of replacing the aluminum cantilever with a Ruby one and the conical stylus is replaced with a modified line contact type).

The now modified SS-103 retains all of the positive, musical qualities of the original DL-103 but gains greatly in resolution and detail.

For the going rate of $150 shipped for a new DL-103 on ebay + the $250 modification, it is the best $400 I have ever spent on a cartridge.
