I have the xv1T and lyra titan i. I have listened to the xv1s a few times. Titan i is more resolving and more energetic performer comparing to the xv1S. Dynavector is very slightly warmer sounding. In my system, the lyra does not sound thin but a lot depends on cart/phono setup and equip. matching.
Koetsu vs Dynavector vs Lyra??
I am starting my search to replace my 8 year old Koetsu Rosewood Signature. I was told that a the Onyx is the most logical choice because I do like the Koetsu sound. However, if there is something out there that can give me a bit more punch and 3d imaging, while maintaining that warm Koetsu sound, I would be interested. I have read and heard good things about the Lyra Titan and Dynavector XV-1S but never heard either. This cartridge will mount on a Basis 2800 with Vector 4 Arm.
Any feedback is appreciated.
