Ortofon/Dynavector ? cartridge characteristics

Heard feedback that the XV1 is too heavy for the TriPlanar and gets ragged up top. 11 grams is about its max.

I'd want something vivid, dynamic and with tight bass. Any suggestions ?

Lyra Delos is a remarkable cartridge. Would be my choice in that price range.

LOL! Some one either depends too much on resonant frequency numbers, doesn't know how to set this combination up with proper selection of the supplied counterweights, or there is another issue in their system.

Best of luck in your search.

P.S. I have no commercial interest in Wheaton.

I own a Triplanar arm and Dynavector XV1-s. In my system, I slightly prefer the A90 with the Triplanar. To my ear, there is a slight tendency to high frequency stridency with the Triplanar/XV1-s combination. (I have not heard this stridency with the Durand Talea.) However, being familiar with the Shindo preamps, I'm not certain that this would be an issue in your system.

Both cartridges really need meticulous set up to sound their best. Both sound great with a good set up, but a 'spot on' setup will yield spectacular results. So which ever cartridge you purchase, I would strongly encourage investing in a quality set up tool like the MintLP protractor.
