Denon 103R cart with Scoutmaster and Black Cube SE

You'll need some weight on a standard JMW 9 arm, like the headshell weight from VPI, or move up to the Signature arm. I've got the same combination (Signature arm) and I switch between a 103R and a Karat...sometimes its hard to chose a winner between the two.

Lornoah,

I'm planning to get a standard 103 for my system very soon. I have a standard Black Cube currently running the 301 at .3mv output. See no problems with it handling .25mv output.

From where I stand, I think you will be happy. I know I will be.

I'm using the 103R with a Scoutmaster and am very happy. I haven't tried any other catridges (it's my first) one but for the money I'd be surprised if it can be beaten. Based on comments on Audiogon and elsewhere many agree. Cheers!
