I purchased a Dynavector XX2 MKII for my VPI Classic several months ago, upgrading from a BenzMicro Glider .8 Mv cartridge. I haven't heard the Lyra Delos, but I would never say the Dynavector is veiled. It is VERY detailed and dynamic in my system, with voices and instruments sounding real and in the room. It's a very good match for the VPI 10.5 arm.
Cartridge for VPI Classic?
I just sold my VPI Scout to replace it with a VPI Classic.
My system is as follows :
Whest PS.30R Phono Amp
Musical Fidelity A5CR Pre Amp
2xMusical Fidelity A3CR Power Amps biamping
Proac D15
Nordost Red Dawn/SPM Interconnects/Speaker Cable (I may look to change these)
I like my system but I'm a bit disappointed with the slight harshness in the top end, especially in reproduction of sibilance which I would like a cartridge to handle well.
I'm considering the following:
Benz Glider SL
Benz Wood SL
Dynavector 17D3
Dynavector XX2 MKII
Soundsmith VPI Zephyr
Any others that I should consider?
Any advice/experiences?
