Opinions on the Dynavector DV507MKII


Got plenty of good feedback on my super platter questions; so here's another point to ponder. Anyone have experience with the Dynavector DV507MKII tonearm on an Aries 3? My shop favors this tonearm for the Aries. I've auditioned this setup in the store and it definitely sounded better than my current Scout...

thx

Sickman451,

I finally received my Periphery Ring yesterday, it's amazing how these little changes improves things sonically. At first I didn't want to spend $500.00 for a stainless steel doughnut but it does its job well. :O)
I'm currently using that setup the Dynavector DV 507MKII, Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua cartridge & the Aries 3, I love it. It's a perfect setup with a "AWESOME" sound. Everything about this setup is good it's by far the best addition I added to my system. Lets not forget the two of them together look like fine piece of artwork.

I also added the SDS, Mini Super Feet, Center Weight & Periphery Ring. I went further to change the phono cable that comes with the Dynavector tomearm. I'm using the Synergistic Research Tricon Analog phono cable, that was the icing on the cake.

Stickman451, do you live in GA? My reason for asking my local dealer has the same Dynavector & VPI setup you audition in the store just curious.
Stickman451,

I decided to go with the SDS over the super platter I thought it was a bigger bang for the buck. My Aries sits on top of my Salamander rack. The Te Kaitora Rua cartridge was a vast improvement over the Karat. I actually feel the same way as Mike regarding the Te Kaitora Rua cartridge vs the XV-1. I'm very pleased with this setup.
