Dynavector DV 507 MKII

Sorry for kind of off topic, but I guess the case is kind of solved?

Do you all use the built in tracking force adjuster, or do you use the sub-weight for most of the preasure?

In my experience the dynamic gauce is presice with some combinations of headshell/cartridge and not so with others. More important: Going back and forth and the dial will show the same value.

I just tested setting the VTF static yesterday and in my opinion the arm sounds more open and faster in the midrange this way. Kind of similar to less damping fluid in other designs if you understand.

In my system (Acutus/DV507MKII/XV-1s) I must say I prefer this over the pure dynamic force.

It is just as easy to adjust VTF this way as you could arrange the weight to your minimum value and apply additional dynamic weight.

Or, combine the two to find the optimum amount of "damping".

Thanks Raul.

Do you fasten the different screws hard, loose or something in the middle?

Audiofeil, thinking about it again and I agree with you, even if your nick means "audiowrong" translated directly from Norwegian (sorry, just had to mention it. Forgive me).

We all know that the VTA is of great importance for the VTF, especially with dynamic force.
My writing might be based on the fact that I do not remember well enough. But, could it be that the combination of headshell and cartridge would influence on how precise the dial is if you have the VTA set different from the angle in witch you outbalanced the arm. I have some problem explaining this in English and I don’t think it is it of great value anyway.

The dial is in my opinion consequent, but the numbers on it is meant for reference not correct value.

Sorry I couldn't explain this any clearer.
