XV-1s. Since 2000, timeless or ready for upgrade?


We see cartridge upgrades as often as the trees turn color. The mags rave about the sonic improvements, and bestow awards to the best, once a year. 3 months ago, I finally installed the Shelter 90 X I purchased 2 years ago. Now the 9000 is the top of the sonic mountain, I guess my 90 X is worth 1/2 of the original price I paid. It never seems to end.

If you have an XV-1s, tell me why the decision I made today, to order an XV-1s, was the right choice

The XV-1s seems to endure, as does the DV 507 arm.

Your thoughts.

The XV-1s has a more sophisticated and refined character than the Shelter 9000 and 90X. It is a very seductive phono cartridge.

I have no business interest in either line.
