Currently using Luxman MB-3045. A great amplifier. 
MYSTERY DYNAVECTOR KARAT 23R
Not really a mystery, as Chakster points out. I used to have one as well. The 23 refers to the length of the cantilever. The 17D with a diamond cantilever had an even shorter cantilever (17 as opposed to 23)https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions...
