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.

Hi: I am surprised that there seems to be a demand for this
arm. I could never get the one I owned to track right and
it sounded only fair. But, they look different and high
tech enough that some people are enamoured with them. Good
luck. I would like to hear that someone has used them with
good results. CEM
