Comments / Observation on Dynavector 505 tonearm?

Hi Analog fans/experts:

I am trying to get information for this arm.

I own a VPI JW19MkIV (TNT platter) with an RB300, and have a friend who is selling me his Dynavector 505 arm. I have at hand an additional undrilled armbase for the VPI, currently using a Denon 103r cart/Michael Yee phono preamp.

1.- Can you share with me your experiences with this arm?
2.- Is it a safe choice to install it on my VPI?
3.- What pitfalls should I avoid?

Thanks for your valuable insight.

I am not sure this tonearm is as good as they say for some reason. I was very uncomfortable with its sound, tried it with quite few carts from Grado Statement to Ortofon Kontrapunkt to Dynavector's own XX-1 with no positive outcome.
YMMV of course.
