Soundsmith dl103r vs. Dynavector 17d3 ruby ?

Hi all , I've been enjoying a soundsmith (level 2 ruby line contact) dl103r for the last year… I absolutely loved it, and hated letting it go.
Recently had an opportunity to buy a dyna 17d karat with a ruby cantilever. I'm wondering how they compare,, anyone have any insight or experience?
Thanks, Harv.

I am curious about the Ruby Cantilever 17D3 . The original design of the Cartridge uses a very short [ 17mm ] Diamond Cantilever . Does Soundsmith use their standard length Cantilever ?? Does this affect the sound drastically ???

I have owned several Soundsmith Level 2 & 3 Ruby Cant. Cartridges including a Denon 103 w/Wood Body and my current Shelter 901 and feel every one was an improvement on the Original .

Since you "absolutely loved it" why did you "let it go"?

Finances dictated my sale of that 103r.
Sorry for leaving that little tidbit out?
Anything useful to add??

Anything "useful" to add, or is that it?
