That sounds like a lot. I would talk to Steve at VAS Audio in NJ to see what he can do for you. I'm all about upgrading the Denon DL-103 series but when your getting to that kind of money I would be looking at a different cart.

Biggest bang for the buck in retipping a new Denton DL103R
I have an analog rig composed of new DL103R, Sumiko tone arm, SOTA TT and a home-made phono stage optimized for DL. It sounds good, but I am wondering whether I can improve the sound significantly by retipping the cartridge. I was quoted by an eBay retipper for $900: Nude Fritz Gyger FG S diamond, ruby cantilever, aluminum body and potting. A new Lyra Denlos is $2000. Is it worth retipping? What is the biggest bang for the buck?
