A question and some comments

I assume that by now you've taken delivery of the KAB SL-1200 with tonearm dampener and Cardas rewire? If so, what do you think of its performance versus stock unmodified?

I don't quite understand why you'd want to remove and replace the stock tonearm with a Jelco. The Jelco is decent (I've got one on my Technics SP-15) but I don't see that it's going to be any improvement over the Technics tonearm. If you want a tonearm with greater mass to better match the Denon DL103, wouldn't it make sense to simply add a heavier headshell and additional counterweight to the stock tonearm?

If I were going to replace the tonearm on my Technics, I would not bother swapping another pivoted tonearm onto it. If anything, I'd put a linear tracker onto it.

I believe Olddude simply clamped a linear tracking tonearm onto the plinth of his Technics, without need for a custom armboard.
