Clearaudio Aurum Beta S vs. Denon 103R


I currently have a Denon 103R and love it. I am thinking of adding a Clearaudio Aurum Beta S and wonder if this will be a noticeable upgrade. The Denon is MC and the Clearaudio a MM so I don't know what to expect. I am running it on an LP12 with OL Silver arm and a Rogue Stealth pre.

I am not sure you'd consider it an upgrade...if you 'love' the 103r, why change it?
Something interesting would be to mod the 103r to p[ut a wood body onto it, like here:

there is a review here:

I would seriously consider something like that rather than going to an MM cart (especially when you like the MC)
