What is the best Dynavector MC cartridge - why?

Ok, I been reading a lot of good things on Dynavector MC Cartridges. I'm not clear which is the best regardless of price or which is the best value.

Given the best Dynavector MC money can buy today would you choose it over the Air Tight PC-1? You can only have one.

Wow. OK - tough question, as I'm a huge fan of both the XV-1S and the PC-1. I own the XV-1S mono, and the PC-1 stereo. I can't go to bat for either over the other at this point because I haven't A/B'd stereo vs. stereo or mono vs. mono. I can tell you this much - they are both world class cartridges and you would be well served by either one of them.

Best value is probably the Dynavector Te Kaitura Rua if we're just talking between Dyna and AirTight, but it's not exactly fair since AirTight doesn't have anything in that price bracket.

Hi Lew,

I haven't had the Te Kaitura Rua in my system - I'm in fact assuming that it's pedigree will carry it. It comes with quite a reputation, as well. It's also one that I'm planning on getting to mount to a Criterion/Copperhead setup.
