Budget MC cartridge for a Rega P3 &Supratek Syrah?

Hi All,,
I think I've decided to stick it out with both analog and my Supratek Syrah, and that means that my current AT 440ml MM cartridge just won't cut it, I need a moving coil. On my short list are, a Denon 103R, a Dynavector DV10x5, and a AT 109C. Which of these would you recommend or is there something I'm missing. I'm on a very tight budget, I'd really like to keep this under $200. Also I have no idea how to install a cartridge, but luckily I live nearby Deja Vu Audio, Vu is very cool and has done repairs for me in the past and I'm sure for a small fee they would do the setup for me. Does this sound like a sound plan? I'm all ears. For reference the rest of the system is a pair of Cary 300B Sig monos and a pair of Alon Lotus SE MKIII's. Thanks.

I used the DL103 on my Rega Planar 3 as well. It is a great combination on the P3. The DL103R is even better than the basic version.

Other cartridges I tried are the Elys, which is not even close to the Denon. The Kontrapunkt A I have works well with my Michell Tecnodec setup, but sometimes I am in the mood for something more lively sounding and switch back to the DL103R.

Also I noticed a significant improvement for the DL103 on the P3 when I installed the Heavyweight.

Good luck,

Rene
