Re: headshell and added to the counterweight

82.35.34.31

Interesting. I too have heard that when you add mass to the headshell the delivery of the DL103 improves a lot. I will try this with my spare DL103 in my Ittok and report how I get on. I have only tried it with my Ittok in standard (i.e. 11.5 g effective mass) form with the DL103 and it sounded good. Maybe it will sound better with more mass. Maybe people who say is works fine in a tonearm with a effective mass of 12g or 8g have only heard it like that and haven't tried adding mass to the headshell?!

And yes the suspension on the DL103 is very rigid indeed. The most rigid I've seen. I find it hard to believe the compliance could be as high as 9 cu.

Unforunately I obviouly can't reduce the effective mass of my Ittok for use with my DL304. I wish I could! I can only use the heavist counter weight possible as close to the pivot as possible to get the lowest possible effective mass with that arm.
