Will Michell Technoarm work with Denon 103R?

Hi There,

I ordered the OL Silver arm to be used with a Denon 103R cart and I was going to do twl's hifi mod. But... the OL Silver order fell through and I have the option to switch to the Michell Technoarm. I understand that the Michell Technoarm has lower effective mass than the OL silver. Will this arm work with the Denon DL103? Has anyone done twl's hifi mod to this arm?

Thanks,

Todd

Thanks for the responses!

I guess the main piece of my question is about the effective mass of the arm. The michell technoarm has holes cut in the arm that reduce the effective mass of the arm. My understanding of the hifi tweak is that the main point of it is to increase the effective mass. Given this effective mass difference (I'm not sure what the actual #s are) would the OL Silver be a more suitable arm to the Denon 103R cart? Or will the tecnoarm with the hifi mod be just as good a match, even though it has less effective mass?

Thanks,

Todd

Thanks for the replies Tom!

What about the OL Silver makes it a better arm than the Michell Technoarm (a) in your opinion? It looks like the tecnoarm has a better designed counterweight

Thanks!
