Last pictures show other colors available, this black hard anodizing is the one on the far right.

This is the shiny black to the right in the first picture. I now have a satin black see other ebay ad.

This modification is vastly superior to wood bodies, air bodies, and other aluminum body modifications that there is no real comparison.

The Paradox Pulse Guard will make them seem irrelevant no matter how good you thought they were!

The Newport Audio Show 2016, a taste of what was heard! Read comments on Perla Audio room.

Ebay would not let me post the link, go to stereophile home page and click on

T.H.E. Show Newport's Amazing 2nd Floor

and read about the Perla Audio room. Also see my website.

For those that think this cartridge will be too heavy your wrong, *Denon publishes their dynamic compliance specifications relative to 100Hz . The actual compliance at 10Hz will be higher.
All you need is more weight for the counter balance. Even Ebay sells larger and heavier weights for various tonearms, but I like to add lead tape (the kind for golf clubs and racquets) as it damps the arm also.

This is the all new Paradox Pulse Guard BODY for YOUR Denon phono cartridge.

THERE IS NO BETTER MOD FOR YOUR DENON

I don't know how to emphasize enough but this is the most advanced modification you can do for the Denon motor. You will be in the class of many thousand dollar cartridges.

The buy it now is for the body to turn YOUR DL-103, DL-103R, DL-103D, DL-103GL, etc... cartridge into a world class performer.
The perimeter lead is already installed all you have to do is follow the video instructions add the internal lead (provided) and pot with epoxy.

This lead shot, epoxy, painters tape and plastic bag are the main ingredients to make YOUR Denon a world class moving coil cartridge. Total weight is ~16 grams.
Using lead to remove internal micro vibrations and rigidly holding the coils has enormous consequences.
The improvements are across the board.
Bass; is extended and cleaned up, tighter more focused and defined.
Mid range; big improvement in clarity, speed, dynamics, and focus. With better imaging, and body to those images.
Highs; extension beyond stock without being bright harsh or edgy, it truly gives you speed and delicacy allowing the music to bloom in a most natural way. The cartridge will not actually do higher frequency's it will just allow you to hear them without all the resonations and distortions that were present before.

The better your system is, the more you will enjoy and notice the higher performance parameters of your cartridge. For my personal cartridge I take this one final step further and have Andy at Try phonocartridgeretipping Sapphire Cantilever, Micro Ridge (MR) diamond my favorite. Absolutely delicious! Tell him I sent you.

There is no better mod for your Denon period!
I have tried many others aluminum, wood and air concept bodies none of which can compete with the Pulse Guard, you even get to keep the factory guard to protect your stylus.

This body those of you that want to modify your cartridge your self. I sell other products and colors so check out my other auctions.

I also sell new already completed matched channel (both left and right channels have the same mv output) and broken in 103's or 103R's. Contact me for pricing or check out paradoxpulse.com.

If you want me to do the surgery to your cartridge ($60-) just notify me and send in your cartridge. Return shipping requires a signature.

Thanks for looking and remember "friends don't let friends use stock Denon's"

"Hi Terence,

Well I got back from vacation and installed the cartridge on Monday evening....WOW! Absolutely brilliant.

Maybe it's my imagination but it almost seems like it is sounding even better after a few hours of play. Could the armature need a little time to get "used to" it's new surroundings?

Just wanted to thank you again....you the MAN!"

"Terrence,

The cartridge came this morning. I appreciate the extra efforts you made, to make sure the box came with no issues. I installed it on my Dynavector arm. I'm sure you know better than me, it might be the easiest high end arm to install a cartridge. I'm listening to my second LP side, and it sound terrific.

I see no difference, and maybe better in some areas,than my $3500. Koetsu Rosewood model. I think the R has a better mid-range. It seems to be very clear. Thank you again.

Your cable look amazing ! I do not have the funds to purchase the DAC, and wont have until the beginning of March. I would like to try a set of your cables.

Would you consider making a USB cable ? I have a DAC that I want to have an audiophile USB cable, when I attach my Macbook Air, for music. I would also be interested in 1 pair of RCA cables to go from my Phono Preamp to my system Preamp.

Thanks again. I am not on Facebook, only LinkedIn. If you would like a nice posted referral or testimony of the R cartridge, please tell me where you would like me to post it.

PS. It beat the pictured model attached ☺
Kind regards,

Mike"

"Terence,

Many thanks for your thoughtful consideration!

PS: While I've come to learn of the renown and esteem with which Denon's (of Japan) 103/103R is held by so many enthusiasts, your brilliant work transforms the 103R into a true work-of-art with performance that reaches into the stratosphere. Thereby, making the Paradox Pulse R something else entirely, in a whole different league:

A genuine showcase of clever American ingenuity and, thus accordingly, a proud product of the United States, in my humble opinion. 🇯🇵 + 🇺🇸 = 🎶 🌎 🎶

Have a great night and thanks again,
Andrew"

"I have aligned the cartridge and set vtf to approx 2.5g. I am very happy with your paradox mod. It sounds way better than my stock dl-103r. Everything sounds better! Can't wait until it is broken in. My system is a Hafler dh-101 preamp modified with MC3 mods bi Musical C, Bryston 4bst amp, Thorens td-125 MkI with Ortofon Rs-212 tonearm, and Snell CV speakers. Your Paradox mod has made my vinyl sound way better. Oh yeah, foot tapping alright! Thanks T."

"Hi Terence

Thanks for your e-mail. I'm listening to music every night with a big smile on my face. All problems with the s-sound are gone and it sounds great. My records has never sounded as good as now. I started to by records in the mid 1970 and today I can hear new things on the old records. It's great.

"Very good Paradox mod! Took my cartridge to another level! A+ Thanks T"
