  Henry,
  
  I'll most certainly report the results (see below).
  
  Inmates,
  
  Great responses so far. I appreciate each and every reply.
  
  I just fired off an e-mail to Peter Lindermann asking for his opinion concerning stylus shapes, cantilever materials, and suspension modifications to allow better compatibility (higher compliance?) with the 12g effective mass of my Traveler arm and possibly a lower VTF (presently 2.7g) without losing the Denon sound. As I mentioned earlier I emphatically DO NOT wish to turn my 103 into a totally different sounding cartridge!
  
  In the meantime I'll just have to struggle along with my DL-103r :-)
  
  Cheers,
  Al

      Thanks for the suggestion. I surely will telephone Peter if I do not receive a reply to my e-mail in a few days.
      
      Cheers,

  I have been thinking the same. I have a 103 that came with a turntable I bought with a snapped cantilever. The basic retip is cheaper that a new 103. I like ellipticals because I don't like to mess with VTA, like I have with more radical tips. It should perform better than a conical.
