Anyone want to know what not to do while dusting your AR turntable? Because i now know what not to do while dusting my AR turntable...
I turns out that I have quite a few 3-38 screws in my headshell/cartridge screw collection. But I appreciate the assurance that I can get more.the screws are #3 X48...................can be found at any hardware store.
add mass to the H/S, and mass to the CW........7gr at counter weight for every 1gr at H/S..........make sure mass is inline with the vertical pivots and center mass of CW..........not an issueTonearms way to light for that
Marc, is the extra weight at the counter weight just for the sake of balancing the arm, or is there another reason?add mass to the H/S, and mass to the CW........7gr at counter weight for every 1gr at H/S..........make sure mass is inline with the vertical pivots and center mass of CW..........not an issue

I don’t have the 103 but I do have a DL-304 and it sounds outstanding on my XA , however I do have the extra mass counterweight so I can use these types of carts on my table . You can see the CW in this picture if you zoom in , if you’d like another picture that’s more detailed I can provide that .Anyone have any experience with the Denon DL-103R cartridge on an AR?

I think the issue with the 103R and 103 is their compliance and how they work with any particular tonearm and not necessarily how much they weigh. The 103 and 103R are typically used with tonearms that have an effective mass of around 20gr. A modded XA/XB's tonearm has an effective mass of around 12gr and the 103 and 103R have a compliance of about 8cu (at 10Hz vs 5cu at 100Hz). If you use the Vinyl Engine calculator as a guide you'd get a resonance at 12Hz with a modded AR and a 103/103R which is not optimal. Higher compliance cartridges such as the one @Audiofreak71 uses are typically a better fit.
yep, that 7-1 works with any 9" arm. the neutral mass design just makes it more responsive since there isn't the additional +/- restorative forcesWhereas I personally haven't done this, I believe what Marc is telling us is, since the AR arm is a "neutral pivot", you can add whatever weight you need to it to make it work with any cartridge.
Just keep it at 7:1.
Yet another aspect of Ed Villchur's perfect design.
