Lanetim---I'm surprised that you felt that the Lyra Delos lacked excitement compared to the Dynavector 20X2 H, the Delos being a higher resolution cartridge, which would give you more detail, air and presence and a more transparent window to hear the music through. To my mind those qualities would have the effect of raising up the "excitement" level, but we all have different ears, different systems and rooms, and listen for different things. Are you saying perhaps that your 20X2 H basically had more dynamics and "slam"?
Dynavector XV-1S ---is it overkill for my system?
I've been enjoying my VPI Classic 1 w/ Dynavector 17D3 cartridge for a couple of years now, but I've got the upgrade bug and I'm ready to make the leap up to a higher performing cart. The Dynavector XV-1S is on my short list, but what do you guys think, is it overkill for my system?
Here are the rest of my components: Heed Quasar phono pre, VTL 2.5 preamp, McCormack DNA 0.5 Deluxe amp, Paradigm Studio 100 v.2 speakers, Cardas Golden Reference and Gabriel Gold Revelation interconnects and Wireworld Equinox speaker cables.
