I have a 103D with no cantilever. I bought it new many decades ago and probably it got de-cantilevered in storage. If I can find it, I’ll send it to anyone who wants it for the cost of shipping.The 103 and its variants are a sort of religion among those who love them. Much like the Lynn LP 12 turntable. There is no point arguing about that.
On the other hand, I don’t think one can legitimately argue that the cost of high-end LOMC cartridges is ridiculously high and then simultaneously argue that the Denon DL103 is not very good, because it did not cost very much when it was new. Which was 50 years ago or so.
