Thorens 125 II/Denon DL-103D Question

I have a Thorens with TP 16 original arm and used a Shure V15VxMR successfully until the cartridge suspension died. I want to get a MC cartridge - DL-103D - but dont know if it will mate with the TP 16 arm. (1) Can you make suggestions for other cartridges if it will not ? (2) Who can fit the Thorens for an SME 3009 arm?
Any suggestions appreciated.

Low if possible

well, the 103 really has no rival for a low output mc for the price. i think denon put the low price on it to keep other manufacturers honest. audio technica has a great low mc in their line up now that blasts its way in the shelterland. about $400 but competes with the high priced stuff. i recently replace 3 moving coils on 3 tables with Garrott's dynamic coil series and have had a lot of fun with my records. tone, size, weight, detail, space, but most of all a balance of all on everything from wes montgomery to the ramones. one table is a thorens 147, and it sings. good luck with your table
