Got an e-mail from SoundSmith yesterday. Peter said the aluminum cantilever for the elliptical retip was too bulky and high mass for the Denon DL-160. Sooooo, it looks like it's a sapphire/CL retip for it. If there's one thing I've learned dealing with Peter, it's to trust his judgement. I'll report on the results when it arrives and after break in. IMHO, Denon screwed up royally when they discontinued that cartridge.
