Dynavector 20x2H vs. Karat 17D3



Due to a shipping accident, I am going to be moving from a Rega P3-24 to a Rega RP3. As part of that my Dynavector 20x2-H is getting replaced. I am thinking about upgrading to the Karat 17D3. I am using a Moon 110LP, but may upgrade to the Moon 310 LP later this year.

Any thoughts on moving from the 20x2 high output MC to the Karat low output? Will it be a worthwhile upgrade? My Moon 100LP provides a 60db gain setting, so that should be adequate for the Karat's .3 mV output.

I have a Naim UnitiQute driving a Naim NAP 250-2, so I think I'm good there. I'm usually at 55-65/100 on the volume control for most music. Between that and the 60db gain setting on the Moon phono preamp I think I should be good.

But curious how it compares to the 20x2-H.
so take my response with a grain of salt as I have not heard either of the latest models.

The Dyna 20xh is a big sounding cartridge. I've compared it in my system to half a dozen other carts in different price ranges, and it 'sounds' the biggest. By that I mean, big bass, big lush midrange, and big soundstage. I'ts also smooth and easy on the ear.

The Karat, (i've got a 17d2 MKii) is so different sounding as to make you wonder if they are made by the same company. It's fast and super detailed while remaining smooth as silk. It has deep tight bass, but not as powerful as the 20x. The Karat does sound 'smaller' than the 20x, but then so does every other cart I've tried in my system. I've got multiple armwands on my Scout/JMW-9 so it makes it easy for me to switch between the two.

My advice, buy both!!
My appologies...the first line in my post is supposed to read "I've got the previous generation of both those carts, so take my respose with a grain of salt".
My RP3 is supposed to arrive tomorrow. We will put the 20x2-H on it, like I had before. If I get it home and have RFI issues, like I did with the P3-24/DV20x2 combination before, then we may try the 17D3.
