I haven't had the pleasure to use or hear the DV 507 MKII, I have an older version, a DV 501.
I installed it on a project Garrard 401. These tonearms are very similar, the newer arm having some refinements not on the older versions.
I don't feel they are that difficult to set up, and once you are used to how it operates, it will become very apparent that this is a very precise instrument, and a joy to use. It also sounds excellent, old or new version.
My previous experience was with a VPI JMW 9 signature, and compared to that arm, it's like the difference between a go-cart and a Formula 1 car.
As with anything else, you just have to familiarize yourself to it. I think you will enjoy it, I know I sure do.
Best of luck, regards,
Dan
