Is it machined by hand or cnc machined?

The Caps are CnC Machined from 6061 aluminum, then anodized hard black for durability. We test fit each Cap on a DL103 /103r before they are packed for shipping.

Please see: Analog Planet review by Michael Fremer:

"My conclusion is that $85 produced a significant sonic improvement."

New review just published in the 2019 Summer Issue of The Occasional Magazine from Part-Time Audiophile by Marc Pillips (page 39)

"Project 103: The Cap—can you turn a nearly sixty-year-old cartridge design into a monster for less than $100...?"
"Once you install The Cap and listen to the gains in performance, you’ll probably change your tune and say: This is the best $85 I’ve ever spent on my audio system."
"The Cap seems to be the perfect solution for me—it works, it’s easy and my 103 has never sounded better. Highly recommended."
