Dynavector DRT XV-1 Cartridge- Opinions ??


Am looking into new cartidges to run into ARC Ref. Phono. BTW it has plenty of gain for low output MC's. Have heard great things about this cartridge. Am also considering Helikon SL. Presently have a Transfiguration Temper Supreme.
It can be "slightly" strident, bright on upper mids and highs, but like it's transparency, speed, detail retieval and dynamics. Table is Basis V vacuum w/ Graham 2.0 arm, am waiting for 2.2 bearing cap upgrade to arrive. Comments would be most appreciated.

How about Koetsu's cartridge, the most natural midrange and detailed high's I've ever heard, but never fatiguing. Your rig is top gun and deserves the best. I would also give a listen to top Benz-Micro cartridge.
