Best Cartridge you have heard on a Denon DP62-L turntable

Back in the late 70’s my local audio store used the Denon 103 mc cartridge on a TOTL Denon TT with the DA-307 arm. Step up device was a clone of the Levinson JC-1 head amp. Despite the conical (gasp!) stylus LP playback sounded phenomenally good! I tried a Grado Signature Two ($500) in place of the DL103. No contest! Despite the overall smoothness and sense of ease of the Grado the 103 ($160) had better detail retrieval and liveliness in comparison.

That experience decades ago with the DL103 is why I continue to use it and keep several versions in my cartridge stable, including a rare gold-body 50th Anniversary model and the 103D with elliptical stylus. It just does well what a cartridge is supposed to do! 

I am suspecting that a slight adjustment of anti-skate would help the Empire do it's job.

Anti-Skate to ZERO, set tracking force. Last: anti-skate.

I spin the platter by hand, lower the arm, see inward skate, adjust to remove inward skate. Check it a bit in from the outer edge and a bit out from the paper label, make the best compromise.
