Hi-End carts - pros

Thanks to all for the responses. While considering these choices, I know that going with the Dyna is going for a manufacturer's statement product. Whereas the KRSP would be a middle of the range, although already very high end cart. It seems like the overwhelming favourite would be the Dyna.

Raul, your response about the KRSP: peaks my interest. With your experience with multiple arms, what type of arm best suits the KRSP? Is it the high mass type or the light type. I've read a couple of times that Koetsu's like heavy arms.

One other question to all, perhaps I should narrow it to the XV1s and the RSP: which would give me an eveloping soundstage? If there's one area that the best digital cannot reproduce, its this "wall of sound".

Thanks to all for the inputs, I have committed to the Dyna XV-1s, which should arrive in about 7-10 days. Keep you guys updated on how it sounds. :)

After spinning a couple of sides, even from the first LP tracking at 1.85g, sure there was a bit of hardness at the start, but even then it sounds fabulous. The detail separation is amazing and the soundstage is huge (could also be attributed to the Conductor), but things are really fast and the rymthmic pace makes you want to groove to the music.

Thing is, I don't see any need to raise VTF! The silence between tracks is more quiet than ever before.

What do you guys load your XV-1s at? I'm currently at 100ohms, will try 1K later.
