Dynavector 505 to replace modded Incognito RB300.

Hi I'm thinking of versatility and adjustability that at some point can be more beneficial for proper analogue set up versis the rigidity of RB300. Obviously the Dynavector arm is at much higher price point. Will the upgrade be worthy after all? I will than plan than to use armtube mount cartridges oppose to headshell mount.

It will "work" with any turntable. The only issue would be its mass; it is a relatively heavy construction. (I am not referring to "effective mass"; I am referring only to the total weight of the entire assembly.) There could be some issues with spring-suspended turntables.

DV505 is otherwise a great tonearm.

Czarivey, The weight of the plinth and the armboard, respectively, is irrelevant. What matters is the tensile strength of the springs that support the total mass. However, if you like I can weigh my DV505; it is currently not mounted.

Thanks, Mofi. I was going to have to hunt down my wife's kitchen scale and then try to balance the 505 on it, which would be tricky.
