Possible to Compare the DV XV-1 & Grado Statement?


Been using the DV 20XL for several years and and am getting the itch to move on... I have a Hovland HP-100 preamp with phono. The Hovland folks seem to like the Grado Statement quite a bit. Local advice leans very heavily towards the Dynavector XV-1. How can I possibly compare these two? The Statement is way less money... Anyone have experience with these two cartridges? Thoughts on this compare? Using a VPI Aries 3 TT with a DV507-MKII arm.
thanks

Hi Darkmoebius,

I have the Phantom II with the DV1s already loaded and a spare titanium arm wand if you'd like me to do the comparison?

Are you in Australia like I am as I don't want to pay for shipping abroard?
