cartridge upgrade advice

Currently using a Grado Gold on a Luxman PD441 table and Denon DA-307 tonearm. Thinking about Grado The Reference, one of the Sound Smiths, or Denon DL-S1 or modded 103R (side question is whether Denon cartridge is necessarily better matched to Denon arm). Listen to all types of music; rock, jazz, some classical.

All the other brands you mention will work great with light to medium tonearms. Except the DL-103.

The 103 works great on the low mass arm of the Amadeus because of the silicone damping. Maybe not so much on conventional arms.

Mattmiller, I believe you meant to say LOW compliance.
