Cool, Mike!

Just to clarify in my mind, your SME 3009 SII is not the "improved" (lower mass) version, correct?

That's correct, fini! Mine is the original Series II which has a mass of 12.5g. The Series II Improved has a mass of 9.5g I believe. Zu gives you some nice documentation with the cart, and my 103R now has a mass of 13.6g, so is a pretty nice fit with the tonearm.

I just finished listening to the Classic reissue of Rimsky-Korsakoff's Scheherezade (Fritz Reiner), and it sounds incredible! The 103R's output (.25mv) is slightly less than the standard 103 (.30mv), but the VRD/BBX w/Cream combo has no problems making this album sound so lifelike. I am extremely impressed with this cartridge!

Very nice cart indeed! I continue to be impressed and happy with my zu 103R. I am pleased that you are experiencing the same improvement as me. This is one killer cart for sure. As i have said before, my Shelter 901 is in the box having ben replaced by the zu!
