i know the desire to get an all-new setup, but...

since you are familiar with this cartridge, i think you should install it on your new table/arm. it will reduce the number of variables that are changing at one time. you will be more likely to learn the character of the table and arm relative to your current setup, and then when you DO make a change to a new cartridge you will certainly understand the changes introduced by JUST swapping the cartridge.

it may be a little less exciting, but i'm a big believer in understanding what is happening at each step along the way. you're still changing 2 things at once, and it could be that the cartridge is not a good match for the tonearm -- but given the circumstances i think that is the most controlled experiment you can do.

it also could work out that your DL103R on your new table/arm leaves you completely satisfied, so you save that that expense. alternately, even if you do decide to move on, you save yourself money by deferring the purchase of a new cartridge (=time value of $$).

anyway, it's a nice problem to have!
