I have an SME 30 and the SME IV.vi arm with the Dynavector XV-1s that bettered a van den Hul Colibri and a Clearaudio Insider Reference by a significant margin IMHO. But, as always, this is a personal preference thing so YMMV
Cartridge for SME IV.V
Attention SME arm people - I'm looking for an upgrade path for my SME 20/2A table, and would love to hear what cartridge characteristics make for a good match with the SME IV.V arm. I am currently using a Dynavector 17DmkII which performs reasonably well, but I imagine the arm and table could handle a better cartridge. Any thoughts?
