what kind of turntable works best with the DL-103R!

In my system I have a Teres 145 and the Thorens TD124. The DL-103R, in an appropriate arm, works to greater effect in the Thorens. Why? Maybe it is the idler drive configuration of the Thorens. Maybe it is the lower resolving power of the DL-103R in combination with an idler turntable which emphasizes dynamic energy over detail retrieval.

I've had this Denon in my Teres. Frankly, the Teres' forte is in detail retrieval, inner details, translating massed instruments, a lyrical quality, etc. These are not the strengths of this particular Denon cartridge. For the Teres, a more upscale cartridge will bring out the strengths of it. But with the Denon, you will become familiar with the Teres' shortcomings; which are lower dynamics and less musical energy output. Less thrust. Less forward. More laid back. The Denon will work in the Teres, but not to the best effect for either the Denon or the Teres.

Ps: I noticed you are using a Teres 255. Hence the post.
