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

Never used it on an Aries but it's a great tonearm.

It should sound better than a Scout. Comparing it to a JMW-9 is akin to comparing a Lexus to a Yugo.
Jmo,

That's too funny. Mike was just telling me last week about your cartridge install and how much he liked it. He personally likes the Te Kaitora Rua better than the 'top of the line' XV-1.

Have you tried the super platter? I am thinking of adding it with the purchase; later I will add the SDS, the Ring, and maybe a Gingko. What does your Aries sit on?

thx

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.

Well Mr. Audiofeil,

It's time to trade-in the Yugo for that Lexas!!! Placing my order ASAP...
