| Opinions on the Dynavector DV507MKII 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. | |
| Best Recording of Music >>Never heard good "base" on a recording<<Chad, Chad, Chad.Probably because you need a better power chord. | |
