I heard such a combo several years ago, with a 9" Magician. I felt at the time it was good but not great. The DL 103 prefers heavier arms, such as an SME 3012 or the 12" Magician.

I've most often seen the DL 103 in 12" arms on high-mass turntables, the Garrard being one classic, and very good sounding, combo.

The DL 103 remains a solid value in cartridges, I feel.
