DaVinci Tonearm

I guess, this one is quite rare. Made in Switzerland.
But anyone out there, who listened to it?
Impressions?

As I haven't heard it in my TT, I can't speak for its performance with an owner's authority but I do lust for it and would swap my Dyna DV507mkII in a heartbeat. TT: Simon Yorke S7 with dual tonearms: S7 + JA MC1B (silver); DV507mkII + XV1s.

If I have to nitpick I've noticed when setting VTF and comparing a "hundredths accurate" digital scale that the gradations on the arm's VTF adjuster are off. But then it's also possible the scale is off... so take this with a grain of salt, I need another digital scale to compare and be sure.
