What's your "buy one of these and get it re-tipped" cartridge suggestion for a DL103 fan?

I'm interested in this thread as I'm a Denon DL-103 fan myself. That thing has a really good generator in it, takes well to upgrades.That said, there are some folks in here that will tell you that it's stupid to put any money into a cart as lowly as the DL-103 and your better off buying a more upscale cart. Well, I have several DL-103 carts, one stock, a DL-103 in a wood body with a hyper elliptical and a DL-103S with a fine elliptical. Sitting on the sidelines waiting are a DL-103D and a DL-103R that need to go to Steve at VAS as well. The most I have ever paid for any variant of a DL-103 with a damaged or missing cantilever is 80 bucks. So even if you dump another couple of hundred into it, it's way less than any comparable cart. Plus the undeniable fact that the DL-103 is such a musical cart and retains that trait through various upgrades.

boothroyd, have you spent time with the Denon DL-103? How does it compare to the Hana? There is a certain musical quality to the DL-103 that a lot of carts lack, instead they are very detailed and sterile or clinical by comparison. Nothing wrong with that, if that's what you want. Sort of like comparing early Audio Research preamps to more modern Audio research preamps.
