Would a Dynavector XX2 MkII be good upgrade?


Currently using VPI Scoutmaster w/Sig JMW arm, Dynavector 20XL.
(phono stage is a Rhea Signature)

Is the XX2 a significant upgrade?
Is it too good for my tonearm?
Where is a good place to buy one?

WARNING !!! I HAD A DYNAVECTOR XX2 MK2. I had it for 5 months till the needle BROKE BECAUSE OF POOR CARTRIDGE NEEDLE PROTECTION. To all of you who wants to buy this product, be prepared for the FLIMSY NEEDLE plastic PROTECTOR. A small bump will just push it out of its socket!!!! The Japanese manufacturer should be ashamed of its design as we all know they are the best in what they do. WHAT A SHAME/ BE WARNED/
Regarding sound, its ok. You really have to break it in to appreciate it and will take you 100 hours minimun. But again by that time if you change cartridges, accidents will always happen and you may just good bye to the cartridge you learned to appreciate.

Frankly speaking I do not think its a good tandem with linn turntable and ekos arm. Research with the other members before buying this cartridge.

good luck.
