Dynavector DV501 with a Grado?

Bill, I've been using my 501 on my Garrard 401 for around fifteen years now, and I've used quite a few different cartridges on it, without problems. I don't claim to be knowledgeable about analog details, but I do know the 501 arm will acomodate many diferent cartridges without presenting problems.

The table, arm and cartridges are getting old with me, but they still satisfy on a daily basis.

Best regards,

Dan

I mounted this arm to the Thorens in 1992 for a reference of getting old. I have only once had to use the heavier counterweight. Most of my carts and headshells are matched within a few tenths so I don't have to fiddle with the counterweight. The Vertical is also a small pain which keeps me form changing carts much. I am hoping one of those Grados will be stop me from wanting to swap carts. I keep going back to the 30+ year old AT-1000 and yet it does not hold my attention well enough. 

Thanks for input

Best Regards

Bill

I moved up to the Statement3 today. I don't have it yet but was told it is 12 grams. I am still unsure what headshell to use with this. I would like to continue using the small sub weight on the 501 so it's easier to change carts around. The Dynavector headshell that the AT1000 is mounted in (Ill sell the AT) is my lightest @ 11 grams but has fixed holes. I also have an Orsonic but not sure how that would work. Any experience with this?

Thanks in advance.

10 grams!

I know what the web site says but Mr Chen at Grado told me 12 today. When it comes I will, weigh it.
