Are you using or have you used the DV XX2 MKII? I am getting ready to replace my 20xl and am leaning towards the XX2. Any comments on your impressions of this cartridge would be appreciated.
It you'll indulge me, try the last 1/3 of Side two, as crowd marches "off to war" w/ quartet, children's choir, high brass... this stretch presented many moments of brief crackle.
Jdaniel13, Not even a hint of crackle on the entire side two either. I do have the Soundsmith mounting hardware to increase the effective mass of the arm and the Counterintuitive to adjust the azimuth and VTF more easily. I don't know if this contributes to the tracking ability or not, but I have no complaints at all.
