Denon 103R with well tempered classic arm

I would like to hear from any current or previous Well Tempered Classic owners who have used the Denon 103 or 103R on this arm.

Is it easy to mount this cartridge given that it has open type mounting holes.

My finger lift has only one hole and the Stanalog website seems to have gone AWOL, so I am not sure whether I can get a new 2 or 3 hole finger lift.

Your kind advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks David and Gibson58,

I currently have a clearaudio virtuoso wood MM cart installed via the alternative mounting method.

I am looking into buying a new phono stage and exploring low cost MC alternatives that deliver good performance but at less than $1K. Hence having read how some praise the Denon 103R, I was considering it but I always thought that it was a bit fiddly due the Denon's open mounting.

I previously had a Ortofon Super OM30 connected to the arm and that was a fiddly job as well, given that it too had open mounts.

Have either of you tried any upgrades on the WTT, if so could you kindly share some info and your experiences via an email?

Thanks once again.

Kind regards

Thanks Gibson58 and Dubhouse,

Any idea where I can get some Marigo gear.

Couldn't find any mention of the WTT on the site.
