Swapping Cartridges on the DV 507MKII


I have an Aries 3 with the Dynavecotor 507MKII and DV 20-XL cartridge. My shop has offered to loan me a DV DRT XV-1. Can I try the DRT by just swapping the headshells on the 507 without having to reset all of the arm settings? Is this a stupid idea?

Stickman451,

If the distance from the turntable spindle to the arm pivot at the base is exactly 226 mm, you can then use the Dynavector cartridge overhang gauge included with the tonearm to set up the XV-1 on another headshell. This allows you to have many headshells with cartridges mounted and aligned for easy swap. You will need to adjust the tracking force and anti-skating for each cartridge/headshell combo.
