Bobc,
"Likes: EASE in presentation, Weight in bottom, texture, bloom, midrange rich, not syrup but rich...
Dislikes: Hyper detail, cold, super fast, brittle, cold , sterile, any kind of glare, tizzy."
You know what you like.
If the arm is too light for a stock 103R, Soundsmith sells weighted cart mounting screws and/or you could use a weighted spacer. You might have to increase the weight of the counterweight, but if it has to be positioned further from the pivot, that will also add to the eff mass.
I'm not sure of the 10Hz cu of the 103, but you might not have a problem anyway. If the cu is 10 and the arm is 10g (?), the resonant frequency should be < 12Hz.
Regards,
