Dynavector XV-1s set up
Dear Raul,A huge thanks as ever. I suspect this will be the best match for my pending amplification. Speak soon 
Dynavector XV-1s set up

Dynavector XV-1s set up
Downunder, many thanks and I'll stick with the 2g. I think that I read somewhere that the increased weights drastically reduce the life of your cartridge (by up to 50%). Also, the manaufacturers seem to think that there is a problem with the liste...
