Dynavector 20X or Grado Sonata for VPI?


Trying to decide on a cartridge for a new VPI Scoutmaster TT (Signature version). We've narrowed it to either the Dynavector 20X or the Grado Sonata - both of which are made in a mid-output version especially for VPI - but which?!

I am glad that I am not the only one that was not impressed with the Grado. I was a Grado dealer for awhile and have tried every Grado wood body cartridge expect for the Reference "Reference". I just could never warm up to any of them. They were all "blah" sounding. No life or energy.

I know that Grado recommends at least 50 to 100 hours to break them in, but I couldn't ever make it that far. The dullness just wore on me.

The DV20X is a very nice, dynamic cartridge. One of my favorites for the price.
