Benz LP vs. Dynavector XV-1s

The Benz LP does not have the resolution of the Dynavector. Nor is it as fast and open. It is a beutiful sounding cartridge, but the Dynavector is much more lifelike and I would differ from Johnny's opinion and say in my experience, the XV-1S is quite a bit more explosive and dynamic.

I have owned and tried many cartridges. If I had to characterize the Dynavector, I would say it combines the best attributes of both the top of the line van Den Hul and Koetsu cartridges.

Great cartridge.

As a disclaimer, the Dynavector is the only cartridge I decided to cary specifically due to the above reasons.

Jfrech: The Titan is an interesting cartridge. It is fast and dynamic with very good resolution. I would say the Dynavector is more natural with better body, texture and is more open. From memory they are similar in dynamics.

The Dynavector mates extremely well with the SME 20/2 and IV.Vi arm. I would slightly up the tracking force over the recommended amount.

Stanhifi: What a shock! Another sarcastic statement and nothing to contribute.

Stanhifi: Why when it is fully disclosed that Ii am a dealer for a product is it shilling? I sell a product and use it because I prefer it to others. You buy a product and you use it because you feel it is better than others.

As a dealer, I have access to carry and use almost any product out there. I choose the products I prefer sonically and many think I have an accurate ear. Should you have a problem with it, maybe you should tell your therapist. I am answering a question posted, which I have every right to do. I would rather hear your opinion focusing on Audiolui's question, than seeing you target me or anyone else with this petty bulls%$#t.

I am sure you have quite a bit of positive feedback to contribute.
