Cartridge Damaged, need advise on getting new


My Dynavector DV-xx2 mk2 s missing the cantilever and stylus, a turntable cleaning accident.

Would like to know what other cartridges I can explore in that price range. About $2k US

I loved the xx2 for its transparency and bass, with very good imaging and soundstage, I believe its strongest feature was its music detail retrieval and bass energy.

Please advise on what you might find in a similar or cheaper price range that might suit my requirements.

Also my tonearm is an opera consonance T1288, see details for cartridge compatibility.

Email Andy Kim at Needle Clinic.  He did a fabulous job on my Clearaudio (bent canteliver).  It sounds amazing and his turnaround is only about 3 days.

I did email Andy and he was quick to respond, believes its a simple job.
Simple job to replace the cantilever, but your cartridge will never be as good as the original Dynavector.
