Opinions on the Dynavector DV507MKII


Got plenty of good feedback on my super platter questions; so here's another point to ponder. Anyone have experience with the Dynavector DV507MKII tonearm on an Aries 3? My shop favors this tonearm for the Aries. I've auditioned this setup in the store and it definitely sounded better than my current Scout...

The Te Kaitora Rua is good, no doubt about it. I’ve had both the T.K.R and the XV-1s. Never heard the T.K.R on the Scout but a friend of mine has a SuperScoutMaster with the longer arm and a XV-1s, nice combination. With the 507MKII it shouldn’t be a problem anyway. Keep us posted as soon as it shows up.
Sickman451,

I finally received my Periphery Ring yesterday, it's amazing how these little changes improves things sonically. At first I didn't want to spend $500.00 for a stainless steel doughnut but it does its job well. :O)
Yes, I agree. I've seen the ring in action at the shop and it definitely flattens out the record completly; makes life much easier for the arm and cartridge...saving my $$$ now for the addition of the ring and the SDS...

I run the Dynavector arm witha Zyx low voltage, copper coil Universe and a Millenium Carbon headshell on a Scheu das Laufwerk II with Teres Verus motor using a Millenium Mat and Stabilizer. The Arm is in a league of its own, particularly when listening to solo piano: attack, base and transparency are unrivalled in my experience
