Next step up from the Dynavector 20x2 for more bass?
You could try adjusting VTA and weight. +1. If the cartridge is new, break in may also be a factor. Here is a link by Lloyd Walker on Fine Tuning your turntable: https://walkeraudio.com/lloyd-walker-on-fine-tuning-your-turntable/ You will note that he mentions under 'General Rules and Effects' that lowering the tracking force and/or raising the VTA you should get better bass definition. |
don't blame it on the cartridge- I had a DV20X2L on a VPI table and there was bass o'plenty- perhaps too much bass. if you have a rega table you need to add shims to the tonearm to set the VTA properly- the rega cartridges are ~ 4mm shorter than the dynavector from mount surface to stylus tip. experiment with the 2mm shim first. i have also heard that rega tables run fast and if so this could also be part of the issue. |
I've used both the HO and LO versions of the 20X on my several arms -- Kuzma Stogi ’s’, Kuzma Stogi Reference, Linn Ittok, OL Encounter, Rega RB300 -- and the bass response was excellent in all cases. Tables are Townshend Rock 3 and Eurolab Premiere Mk2. A local friend got great bass with the 20x paired with his Kuzma Stogi, Michell TecnoArm and Audiomods Classic arms. Unless defective, the cartridge is fine, look elsewhere for your problem. |
