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

I was right there w/chakster thinking an NOS AT OC9 III would be ideal for funny money.

Maybe a Hana EL could be considered.

When I first heard that cartridge after installing it on my VPI Scout, I made a comment that it was never coming off. Very impressive in its own right.

Very little. While I do have a DL103R, my lack of a tonearm over 9” makes conical/spherical styli pickups less than optimal. 

The Hana EL is anything but clinical and while it does slightly sacrifice “meat on the bone” in the bottom octaves by comparison, the alnico magnets of the Hana EL make for an organic presentation with musicality over ultimate detail and transparency. The nude elliptical stylus just works much better for my scenario.

Hope this helps.
