The low output Dyna 20xl is a much better sounding cartridge than the HO version. Trying to get more output from a MC cartridge is a design compromise which "typically" translates into lesser performance. I am not saying the HO Dyna is a poor sounding cartridge, but it is not the same league as the LO version. BTW, the 2M Bronze and Black have almost twice the output when compared to the Dyna, therefore, as the previous poster mentioned, make sure the Dyna is an electrical match.
Out of these two cartridges which would you choose?
Hi everyone i officially had my new mega rp8 for a week now and am amazed by the performance with it. I am looking to upgrade the cartridge now but can decide by these two after naming down my search. I have my sets set on either a dynavector 20x2 High output version or a new ortofon 2m Black. The preamp Im running it through would be a cary slp-98p Class A all Tube phono preamp with mm only. I am not considering a low output mc. Because I tried out a new pair of speakers for fun an shocked by how bloody good they sound with my system. But are worth 10K lol and are the last pair I will ever need for life!
