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
dgob

I set mine at 2 grms, however HW owner from VPI and HP from TAS swear by their XV-1s's at between 2.5 and 2,6 gms.

BTW I generally set mine at 47k with a pass Xono however I seem to be in the minority on that one.

Dgob. I agree with you. I set mine at 2.5gm and could not hear that big a difference. However HW does say that 2.5gm sounds better and it has not effected the XV-1s in all the time he has used it at that weight.

Try it for a few hours and see if it makes a difference in your system. Can't hurt.

cheers Shane
