Any higher Dynavectors sounding alike to Karat23r?

Hello! I am very fond of the musicality and warmth of Dynavector Karat 23R, but I feel it would benefit from more discipline. Do you know any higher Dynavector models that sound alike in warmth and musicality departments, yet have better resolution? I would appreciate your suggestions very much! Thank You!

You might consider upgrading your tone arm or your phono stage.

Dear Zbielak: Easy, XV-1s. This IMHO is a afe/friendly cartridge that seems to me designed as: a test against " deaf " audiophiles, even a " deaf " audio person can hear the differences with this cartridge.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

I already use a nice TT/arm: SME 20.2/SME V. I know XV-1s is the direction to go, I am already waiting for a good bargain on second hand XV-1s. I meant older Dynavectors, raul - do any higher than Karat 23R models, sound similar yet more precisely?
