Micro Seiki MA-505LS tone arm, anybody familiar?

I did not find the MA-505 (or any dynamically balanced tonearm) to be the best match to the DL-103 cartridge, standard or R version.  I would try the Scheu.

You might try a brass plate on the top of head shell, with the denon.  Had a regular 505 for over 20 years.  2 of the best mods where brass counter weight and bypass the detachable head shell connections.  More of a pita to swap head shells.

Enjoy the ride

Thx Tom!
The modded dl103 is included in the deal, seller says it sounds REAL good but I will be the judge of that ... Lol.

I have a few other carts to try out for sure.

So I have had the 401 cw the ma505 arm for a couple of days now.
Really was not over keen on the dl103 sound.
My collection of vintage AT and Shure carts were ok.
ATM I am running the Scheu Analog SL cart which is the best I have so far although I fear is far from the best I can get.
Now one more part of the puzzle is that my phono has max gain of 60db which is a little low for the really lomc out there, the Scheu is just about ok.

Are there any really good recommended carts out there that are middle lomc, say 0.7 to 0.8mv output?
I was looking at the Sumiko Blackbird or the Grado Statement, anybody familiar with them or any other similar output carts?

Consider some of the SoundSmith Cartridges.
