Alternatives ot Dynavector DV-1t


I'm considering upgrading cartridges from a DV-1S to a DV-1T.  My thinking is that I like the Dynavector sound but would just like more of it.  This strategy worked very well when I went from the xx-II2 to the 1S.  On the other hand, in the spirit of due diligence, I'm wondering if there are other cartridges with a similar style and quality which merit consideration.  While I recognize that the Dynavector style isn't for everyone, I'm not looking to debate styles but simply to find alternatives to Dynavector.  Your ideas will keep me occupied doing research on these long cold nights, so thanks in advance for your help.

The XV-1T is Dynavector's best/most expensive cartridge.  I had the 1S and was a great cartridge.  The XV-1T is in the class of some of the following top carts of all these mfrs - at the end of the day, it depends on your table and preference:

ZYX Universe II X
Lyra Titan
Clearaudio GF
Ortofon Anna

Art Salvatore's discussion talks about the ZYX Universe II, Benz LP-S and the XV-1S.
