The Dyna 17d2 is a great fast cart, only drawback being its low output of 0.23mv which mandates a phonostage gain of at least 60db or it will sound lifeless or noisy. The rest of the equation is setup.
I would therefore recommend that you consider looking at your phonostage first before upgrading the cart, because any upgrade there will make a profound improvement to the sound you are getting from analog playback. Upgrading the phono is as important as upgrading the deck or arm.
