Dynavector DV501 with a Grado?


I have a Dynavector DV501 with an assortment of carts (Sumiko Blue-Point #2, AT-1000, Dynavector 20X2 HO, Denon DL 103D,etc.) TT is a Thorens TD125. I want to try the Grado Timbre series, Sonata3, Master3 or Reference3. I understand headshell with this cart and arm can be a problem. Does anyone have experience with this (or these) combos. I see little info on the web about these carts in general. Any information would be appreciated, especially on the carts and which headshell works best with this setup.

Bill, I've been using my 501 on my Garrard 401 for around fifteen years now, and I've used quite a few different cartridges on it, without problems. I don't claim to be knowledgeable about analog details, but I do know the 501 arm will acomodate many diferent cartridges without presenting problems.

The table, arm and cartridges are getting old with me, but they still satisfy on a daily basis.

Best regards,

Dan
