After getting advice from some of you about analog upgrades, instead of
Jumping to a new phono I want to upgradel cartridge.
Rest of system.

I've had the 10x5, 20xl and 20xH the17D and the xx2mk II. The 20x is a marginal step up the 17d is huge as is the xx2. The 17d is so clean and clear sounding you will be amazed. In a way I like it better than the xx2 but I think the overall balance is better with the xx2 you can't go wrong with either. I think you will certainly like the 20x better than the 10x5 but if you are looking for a big jump go at least to the 17d.
Thanks
Do you guys think the ps audio will be ok.
I like separation on instruments and deep soundstage,
Listen to all kind of music.
Very happy with harbeth/luxman.
Input Sensitivity/Impedance: phono (MM), 2.5mV/47kΩ; phono (MC), 0.3mV/100Ω

You should be able to run the Dynavector 17D3 into the phono stage on your Luxman wih no problem. See the specificatin above from Luxman.

Without trying to be snippy, you could have looked this up in the Luxman manual. I can't tell you about the PS Audio because you have not provided the model information. If you have a question people are happy to help and it is great when you provide the pertinent information.
