Dynavector 10X5 vs Blue Point Special "Evo III"


Need some input about the sound quality differances of these two cartridges: I have a VPI Junior with an Audioquest PT-6 arm. I currently have the "original" BPS and never really liked it---highs were hardsounding and bass was weak, though soundstaging and imaging were good to very good. Trying to keep the purchase at $300 or less for a high output moving coil.

Or (and still within your budget), go the whole enchilada and get a Denon DL103R from Koji.

$250 plus $27 shipping plus a small fee for processing your credit card ... totalling to a tick under the magic $300 number.

Once again, I have NO commercial interest here.

Koji can be found through: http://www.eifl.co.jp/index/export/export2.htm

I've run a DL103 and DL103R on tonearms as light as a Graham and Rega, and as heavy as my 18 gram eff mass Schröder.

The only caveat is that they put out only about .28mv which might be a problem for your gain structure.

Cheers,
