If you have a phono stage then look at the Bob's Devices SUT, I have one as well as a 103. See the review in 10 AUDIO on line as well as recent one in Stereophile.
I use a pair of CineMag CMQEE-3440A step ups with my DL103. I think that these are used in some of Bob's Devices SUTs. There is an in depth wright up over at The Analog Department on the DL103 and CMQEE-3440A. Look in the Articles and Reviews section. I think that it is an article titled "MC step up devices part 1" or something along that line.
From what I understand, the Auditorium 23 was voiced around the DL-103 and is an excellent match. The problem is they don't come up used very often and they're quite expensive new. 6Moons raved about them in this review.

For commoners like me, the Cinemag CMQEE-3440A is much more affordable, yet very nice sounding. If you're into DIY projects, you can build a Cinemag SUT for less than $200. Or you can buy an assembled unit from Bob's Devices for $395. 10 Audio reviewed Bob's SUT last year. Art Dudley also commented on Bob's SUT in Stereophile and liked it better than Lundahls. He also mentions Auditorium 23.
