Dynavector 20x2 High or Low Output?


I have a VPI HW-19v4 table with a 12.5 arm. I am currently using a Denon 103r with a Bob's Cinemag Step-up. I have a friend that is selling a like new 2.8mv 20X2 for $750. Should I hold out on a Low version since I have the Step-up or get the HO version and lose the Step-up? Has anyone A/B'd the Denon to the 20X2? Finally, what are your thoughts of this cartridge is it a worthy upgrade from the 103r?

Mechans; you may be confusing the previous version of the 20X(L/H) cartridge with the new 20X2 cartridge. If the Dynavector 20X2 that Podolaw is considering buying is a brand new cartridge, he'll be saving $100 USD from full retail. That may be a good price, as long as he can get warranty coverage.

Just a thought. Perhaps replacing tubes with the best you can find will help a lot. And also, turntable resonance control is very important of course and improving it can make a big difference. So the general idea could be to extract maximum performance from what you already have. I usually follow this approach. And then when it appears that there is nothing or very little left to extract, you upgrade. And when you do - you jump. In your case, yeah, possibly to Herron or LAMM phono and then the cartridge.
