What's your "buy one of these and get it re-tipped" cartridge suggestion for a DL103 fan?

Are there obtainable gems out there that I'm not aware of?

Of course there are, but you did not mention the budget. 

I'd like to keep the cartridge and the retip under $800.

I’m all for 103 and 103R, Mine too was a Soundsmith. Three total
Denon 110. 103, and a 103R.

I’ve only set up the 103 on a SME 3012 II, on a TD124 I

The 103 R is going on a 3009 II, Thoren TD124 II

110 is going on a Jelco 750E, doing broadcast duty... Russco.

I just looked, it was 1130.00.. WOW 4 years ago..

Regards..

Wow, why don't you just buy unused ART-9 then ? 

A friend has one and I am trying to get away from that sound. Great cartridge but I already have a Decca Super Gold with a paratrace stylus that sounds similar, but better to my ear. I’m trying to find more of a less is more cartridge like the DL103.
