DYNAVECTOR XV1T - XV-1T VTF ??

The loading is wide open ( no resistors at all ).. My Pre amp is the Atma-Sphere MP-1. How do I find out what the effective mass of the tone arm is?

Thanks everyone for chiming in. I use the factory protractor that came with the TT (which is mated perfectly for the tonearm that comes with the table) Do you guys think an aftermarket protractor will do a better job?

As far as setup, I wore a hole in my listening chair from getting up, sitting down, getting up, sitting down, getting up, sitting down - for days on end! I think I have it dialed in pretty good.. I have detail coming out of this cartridge that I have never heard before. I'm certainly happy with the sound. If i take it back to 2.2g it sounds lifeless, no punch, less detail.. ( though at 2.7g everything is better but I do notice more surface noise from the record )

Oh, BTW I forgot to mention I had the XV-1s before this cart and it sounded best at 1.9g.. Weird or what?

Thanks guys for your answers!

The cart does not mistrack..

Ok, I've brought it back to 2.0g I've installed 260 ohm resistors and I've put the VTA down a hair to compensate for the lighter weight.

I'll obsess over it tonight and let you know how it goes.

( I listened to the cart at 2.7g for maybe 30 minutes.. I couldn't bare to leave it there.. even though it was awesome..)

Ok, I speant hours last night adjusting this cartridge and what I found was the antiskate was a little too heavy and i think the extra weight of the cartridge compensated for it which made it sound better at the heavier weight. I'm happy to report that the cartidge is at 1.96 grams and it sounds absolutley incredible, I cant believe it!

The antiskate adjustment literally only needed the slightest tweak for such a massive improvement.

question - How do you know when to stop adjusting? Right now it's so incredible.. but could it get even better?

I'm afraid to touch it!

What are your thoughts?

P.S - the sound stage also improved with the resistors in.

Thanks for that.
