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.

I have 103R on the way which I will be mounting on an FT3 when it arrives. I'll keep you posted, but I am not expecting any problems.

I've had my new 103R mounted in my FT3 for about a week now and have about 10 hours on it. It replaced an older Ortofon MC 20 Super and I couldn't be happier with its performance. I have not used any damping on the FT3 to this point and may experiment with that a bit later to see if there is any improvement. My gut feeling is that I'll be running undamped or with very little damping based on what I'm hearing right now. The Ortofon did not like any damping at all, but its compliance numbers are significantly different than the Denon's. So if you have an FT3, I wouldn't hesitate to stick a 103 or 103R on it.
