Dynavector DV 507 MKII

The sub-weight is used only to zero out the arm, not to apply VTF.

Dear Audiofeil: Yes it is but any one can use it as main counterweight like in any static balance tonearm: you set to 0(cero ) the VTF dial and aply the VTF through the ( a,b,c ) sub-weight, that's all. IMHO works really fine, you can/could try it and " see " what happen by your self.

regards and enjoy the music.

Thanks Raul,
I know how the arm works; I've had one here for some time now.

I suppose you could static balance the arm but in actuality it makes no difference in sonics; I've tried it both ways with a number of cartridges.

Besides, it's far easier to make small adjustments using it dynamically.

Dealer disclaimer

Dear Audiofeil: Yes, it is more easy ( dynamic balanced ) to make VTF changes because in static way we need a VTF gauge always.

Anyway it is " interesting " to 507MK2 owners to try both ways and choose about.

Regards and enjoy the music.

You need a VTF gauge with any dynamic balanced arm Raul. We can never, ever rely on the tonearm indicator for VTF.

Although the 507's adjustment dial is incredibly accurate; actually it's the most precise of any tonearm here.

But the tonearm itself reminds me of those machines from the Terminator movies.
