New Cartridge advice

If your Q-damping is working well it may not matter. In general, the Denon 3-series carts are light and go well with lighter tonearms, like the short one, while the S might work better with heavier carts, but the Q-damping should make them relatively resonance neutral. One of my original 301s, the lightest of them all, is on a very light unipivot (Magenpan Unitrac) on a Denon 55k. The 103 is heavier than the 3-series carts, and you could try it on the S. The Hana is light like the Denon 3-series should sound fine I would guess. On these Q-damped tables/arms (I have a JVC, similar or the same tech to Denon, I believe), to my old ears everything sounds good.

All good cartridge advice, but what piqued my interest was your use of the great Linn Nexus speakers from the 1990’s. When I worked for a Linn dealer during that period, the Linn Nexus were the speakers (along with the Linn Intek integrated and an LP-12 - Ittok- Troika) I would listen to when I just wanted to chill with some music even though we other high-end speakers like B&W 801’s and Martin Logan electrostatics on demo.  I always thought the Nexus sounded best right up to the wall behind with nothing in between the speakers.  I hope you have the matching KuStone stands for them.  It was ingenious of Linn to design those stands with very, very long bolts that threaded up from the stands into the internal braces of the speakers. 

You might think about compliance as well as “weight”. A lightweight cartridge can have low compliance and would work best with a high effective mass tonearm. Conversely a heavyweight cartridge can have high compliance, etc.

@porchlight1 I'm loving my Linn Nexus speakers. I originally bought them new in 89 for $1100 I think. They demoed with Linn cd player and turntable at the time. Had an A/B switch so you could compare. They played Sheffield Labs James Newton Howard and Friends on vinyl and I was sold. I recently bought some Tekton Lore Be's and gave my beloved Nexus speakers to my son. He called a few months ago saying he saw a pair of Linns for sale on local marketplace. The Linns were in fantastic condition and I purchased with a Denon Amp for $150. My son won't budge from my original set. Both sets have the KuStone Stands. I'm running a Hsu sub via high level connection from my amp. Sounds great.

They are amazing and definitely improve with each upgrade I've made.

I'm blessed to have 2 pairs:)
