Best Tonearm for Dynavector XV1s

I'm putting together a new analog front end. Recently picked up a Dynavector XV1s. Had a XV1 a few years back and liked it very much. Used the XV1 with a Graham 2.2 on a Basis Debut V vacuum table.

Which tonearm do you folks think is the best match with the XV1s ?? Haven't made a final decision on table yet, but am focusing on direct drives, most likely new Teres or Grand Prix Audio.

Hi Raul: One would think that the current Dynavector DV-507 would be a synergisitc match with the XV-1s. A gentleman whose ears and technical knowledge I greatly respect likes the DV-507 the best with the XV-1s, closely followed by the Graham Phantom. Do you have any thoughts on those two arms ??

Raul,

I prefered my Ikeda to the SME V w. the XV-1s but not by much.

Dear Fbhifi: I try many times my XV-1 with the Dynavector DV-505 ( that is similar to the 507, perhaps mine is better because I change the internal wiring ) because the common sense tell me that ( in theory ) the best match for the XV-1 has to be the Dynavector tonearm, no that is not true the others tonearms that I named make better match that the Dynavector one. I don't have any experience with the Phantom.

Darren, I agree with you about. Btw, the Essential is waiting for you!!!

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.

Has anyone heared the DV XV-1s in the bigger Origin Live tonearms as Conqueror MkIII or Enterprise? Comparisons with other tonearms?
