Help Viridian will a Denon 103 work in a Rega arm


I am using a vintage Denon 103D in my Micro Seiki MR-711 and would like to try a new 103 in my P3 or my Technics. Most likely the P3. I would appreciate guidance from anyone that has first hand experience using a current production 103 in a stock Rega arm. Transformer will be a Denon AU-320. Thanking all of you in advance for your guidance and continued support.

Marty,

Yes it will. However, there's a simple way to make it 'sing' in this arm.

I took a trip to the local ACE Hardware store. I purchased some brass screws with bolts. Mounted them 'upside down'. Brass screws are recommended by MapleShade (www.mapleshaderecords.com; look under "turntable upgrades").

MAN!!!...

My stereo sounds better than ever! What I did notice was that there is a big difference in weight between the two screws Denon gives you and the brass ones. If I remember correctly, the Rega has 11 grams of effective mass; the 'perfect match'---the older SME's---have 14 grams of mass.

GET BRASS SCREWS AND MOUNT THAT DENON!! I wonder if this is another way to make the Denon work as it should??
