Almost Time to Replace My DV-20xl

The time to replace my aging DV-20xl is rapidily approaching; what to do next?

How close or how much 'difference' is there between the DV Xv-1s and the DV XX-2? There's a large price difference of course... I am very tempted to go all-in and spring for the XV-1s but it ain't cheap!

I've been contemplating the Soundsmith Zephyr. There's subjective talk, relating to the Zephyr here in the forums; also check out the Soundsmith site. You may have to spend less than you think, for a sizable improvement?

Sorry, no experience with the XX2 or XV1-S.

somewhat close, but you do get what you pay for.
I heard the best line about cartridges the other day...buy the best cartridge you can stretch for. so many people buy lesser cartridges and then try to resell or whatev, and lose big money. so if you're going for it, do it big!

Consider a Level 3 Soundsmith Re-Build [ $350.00 ] of your Dyna . You will be suprised at the outcome . It will compete with most $1500-2000 Cartridges .

You can buy a Used Cart. on AgoN to get you thru the 2 to 3 month wait for the Re-Build . Then you will have a backup just in case .
