Dynavector XV-1s set up


Hi,

I've just got a new XV-1s and am trying to set it up using a Plinius M14, which I am using temporarily. The Plinius offers Cartridge Loads of 22, 47, 100, 470, 1k and 47k. The XV-1s' literature is very limited but gives a recommended load of "more than 30 ohms". Can anyone advise me on what setting will work best on the Plinius?

Also, how long will the XV-1s take to run-in? And, finally, any other set up tips and advice will be warmly welcomed.

Many thanks

Interesting. I find my XV-1s sounds best to me around 1.85 grams. I suppose the arm being used may have something to do with what VTF works best for anyone.

It has since been generally agreed that the XV-1s performs best at around 2.1g VTF.

I don't know where and by whom this agreement was made and under what conditions. Would you folks tracking a 2.0+ VTF please mind stating what arm you are using the V-1s on? I think it would help clarify some of the differences that are being reported. It sounds like the SME and Triplanar users prefer a much lighter VTF.

Ok. I'm convince. You guys running 2.0+ are deaf! :-)
