Dynavector DV 507 MKII

The sub-weight is used only to zero out the arm, not to apply VTF.

Thanks Raul,
I know how the arm works; I've had one here for some time now.

I suppose you could static balance the arm but in actuality it makes no difference in sonics; I've tried it both ways with a number of cartridges.

Besides, it's far easier to make small adjustments using it dynamically.

Dealer disclaimer

You need a VTF gauge with any dynamic balanced arm Raul. We can never, ever rely on the tonearm indicator for VTF.

Although the 507's adjustment dial is incredibly accurate; actually it's the most precise of any tonearm here.

But the tonearm itself reminds me of those machines from the Terminator movies.

>>In my experience the dynamic gauce is presice with some combinations of headshell/cartridge and not so with others.<<

I'd like an explanation as to how you think this is possible.

I've used 9 cartridges with 3 different headshells and couldn't disagree with you more.

The only possibility IMO is you do not have the arm leveled in exactly the same position at "0" VTF.

Thanks in advance.
