Miyajima Kansui vs Dynavector XV-1S

Does anybody have an opinion of these two, having heard both? Two are on sale in my local area and I have kind of zeroed in on these two for an upgrade of my Shelter 901. Table is a SOTA Cosmos and SME V.

Thanks.

My only experience with it is in a friend's system I was trouble shooting recently. The system was heavily tweaked and we spent the day pulling all of it out and balancing the room acoustics, now I'm wondering if I should have pulled his XV-1 too. david

I only care about YOUR opinion on the subject, do you own a Kansui?
