Uwe ebony wood body with front cut out for better sight on queueing
Epoxy damped to a shallow depth to allow the ebony to resonate
generator cemented at base for more structural integrity
cement sealed with clear mail polishThese modifications add up to much tighter focus, higher degree of mid-range presence, palpable texture/timbre. This cartridge has plenty of life left in it. It is the first of the 103's I've modified and kept it out of sentimentality. Clearing out the cabinet and since I have three other Denon's this one can go. This is a prime candidate for a Soundsmith upgrade. Rating it "Like New" but it is better than new.
