I experienced high velocity mistracking more than a few times with VPI/Dyna combo on piano, opera and choral records. More so w/ 20xl and less so with xx2 In a final act of desperation I paid dealer to make house call to double check my set up.
Dynavector 20X H vs DV 20X M 1mv for VPI
Has anyone, particularly someone who owns a VPI TT with JMW arm), ever compared a DV 20X H (2.4 mV) to a DV 20X (M) (1mV custom made for VPI TTs)?? I own a VPI Classic TT with a VPI Zephyr cartrdige. I also own a DV 20X2 H as a back-up cartridge. As I have mentioned in another thread, I like the DV very much, but I like the Zephyr better. Ergo, my current set up.
I ask the question in this OP because from time to time I see a DV 20X M (custom made for VPI TTs) for sale. If the 20 X M is significantly better than the 20X H when used on a VPI TT, then it raises the question of I should try to swap out the two DV cartridges. OTOH, if we're talking about differences measured in the "tweak" threshold, I'll stick. It would only be an academic exercise at best and not worth the effort.
Thanks for the thoughts.
