Dynavector 20X H vs DV 20X M 1mv for VPI


Has anyone, particularly someone who owns a VPI TT with JMW arm), ever compared a DV 20X H (2.4 mV) to a DV 20X (M) (1mV custom made for VPI TTs)?? I own a VPI Classic TT with a VPI Zephyr cartrdige. I also own a DV 20X2 H as a back-up cartridge. As I have mentioned in another thread, I like the DV very much, but I like the Zephyr better. Ergo, my current set up.

I ask the question in this OP because from time to time I see a DV 20X M (custom made for VPI TTs) for sale. If the 20 X M is significantly better than the 20X H when used on a VPI TT, then it raises the question of I should try to swap out the two DV cartridges. OTOH, if we're talking about differences measured in the "tweak" threshold, I'll stick. It would only be an academic exercise at best and not worth the effort.

Thanks for the thoughts.

I can actually report right now. : ) The whole kit's gone. 3 years of fiddling was enough. I'm listening through an Audio Technica 130E and im very happy. Is it as musical? No but it comes insultingly close to what I had and tracks even what the Xx2 would not. Although I was initially thrilled with the $$XX2, as my collection expanded so did new bouts of difficulty. Just listening to organ solo/last pages of music on side 2 of janacek's Gagolitic Mass (DGG Kubelik) and thrilled with clarity delivered by AT. Take that LP to dealer


Jdaniel, again I empathize. FWIW, if you still have your VPI TT, and want to try another cartridge at some point that I think WILL please you with its musicality and trackability, then take a look at the VPI Zephyr, made by Sound Smith. I understand that Peter Ledermann of SS and Harry Weisfeld of VPI collaborated on the design of the Zephyr. The Zephyr is my primary cartridge and the DV 20X2 H is my back up cartridge. So far, I am very pleased.
