Cartridge "upgrade" to Dynavector XV1T

I think the XV1T is brilliant with all the tone and dynamism styles that I want

I want an upgrade that has the same but more (not an alternative "presentation")

Yes I know I should be satisfied ... and I am ... but ...... itchy ears that like to be scratched !

Have tried "buying to try" and not successfully in terms of finance and time and effort.

Based on your seller profile it seems you are a couple of hours from Z- Axis Audio. They are the UK rep for Aidas Cartridges Lithuania ( as am I for the USA ). I believe they have the Mammoth Gold MK2 on demo. This cart is VERY good and in ways that IMHO are in the trajectory of the XV-1T. Might be worth a trip to listen. Beats buying a top £ cart and being disappointed ;)

Great arm, and I still stand by my suggestion to listen to Aidas Mammoth Gold Mk2. That said people whose ears I am inclined to trust are going gaga for the top Glanz arms...possible that would also be interesting...
