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

I track mine at 1.90g on an SME V (pending arrival of my new Phantom) with great success with ARC Reference Phono (with full GNSC mods package) loaded down to 100z. The Ref does not have loading capability "on the fly". I sent it back to GNSC to be modified in such a way that i can "play" with loading on the "fly" (somewhat) with custom made loading plugs and separate RCA connectors soldered in parallell with the input connectors.
Agree with Thom. The XV1's is an awesome cartridge and a steal (so to speak) at its price. I have finally found "cartridge nirvana".
