Remember that the quoted compliance on a Denon cartridge is measured at 100HZ so at 10 HZ it's may be closer to 11-12 x 10-6 cm/Dyne and should work quite well tonearms down to 9 grams effective mass.That means that the Denon DL-103 or DL-103R should be a prefect match, compliance wise, with your 11.5 gram effective mass tonearm.
JMHO, YMMV and WTFDIK?
P.S. If you are going to shoot the moon with a Sound Smith Re-tip at $250, go the extra mile and get a DL-103R. ;-)
My guess is that would give you $1000+ cartridge performance for about $550.
Nobody here but us chickens.
