I've found my 17D3 very enjoyable and easy to maintain. Dynavector provides a brush, for cleaning the stylus and cantilever. You probably got one with your 20X too. That and a little STYLAST(same bottle since 1981) have kept everything deposit free, for a few years now.
Looking at upgrading to a new MC cartridge any thoughts?
Hi everyone I had recently just bought a new Rega RP8 turntable and bought a Dynavector 20X2L as my first moving coil cartridge to see what all the hype is on MC. I was thinking of getting a second cartridge and use this one as a back up. I was looking at the dynavector XX2 MKII. over the 17D3 Because Im worried bout the diamond cantilever and getting dust very easily on it. But for the same money I could get the Rega Apheta2. So I must ask is the dynavector xx2 better preforming cartridge over the Aphata 2? Whats your guys thoughts on this?
