What is the best Dynavector MC cartridge - why?


Ok, I been reading a lot of good things on Dynavector MC Cartridges. I'm not clear which is the best regardless of price or which is the best value.

Given the best Dynavector MC money can buy today would you choose it over the Air Tight PC-1? You can only have one.

i have owned the dynavector xv-1s, shelter 9000 and the airtight pc-1. the air tight is the best of the group not WARM or BRIGHT at all and still in my system (on tas short list of cart. over $3000). the dynavector a very close second, just to flimsy, i broke two cantilevers, very expensive to repair not worth the extra cost and agravation, if and when it happens. the shelter sounded good after a break in but not in the other 2 cart's league. if you buy the dynavector be very careful. there are no loosers in this group. best of luck
Dear Gerrym5: One of my last cartridge hearing on my system was the PC-1 that it is a very good performer but the XV-1 ( on an Audiocraft tonearm ) goes better with my music/sound reproduction priorities.

Now, if you aspire to mate that " new " cartridge with your Phantom tonearm ( that is very similar to the Audiocraft ) my vote is for the XV.1 but this vote is only by my preferences/priorities that are better serve by this cartridge but I can live " happy " with the PC-1 one. You know this is a very hard call for say the least.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Hi Kevin (Ella4ever)
As you have owned the Dyna carts, I'm interested in your opinions about the sonic differences between the XX2, TK, and the XV-1s.

Thanks
