Does anyone have any first hand experience with these? It is the High output MC Dynavector 20X2 I'm referring to. The table is a VPI Scoutmaster. Thanks.
Why bother with all the cliche audiophile adjectives. The Zephyr just sounds better with the VPI JMW arm. Research other threads on the Forum. Other members have expressed similar views.
I have used both in my VPI Classic. The Dynavector was very dynamic, but less refined than the Zephyr. The Zephyr recreates a deeper soundstage and is more neutral to my ears. I prefer the Zephyr on all types of acoustic music. The Dynavector gets a slight edge on loud rock, but that's all. My verdict: the Zephyr is the superior cartridge.
I find with the DV20x2 (high output) I am having to turn up the volume knob a lot higher than I did with the MM I had before so I wouldn't be able to use the Low Output cart with out a step up and I don't want to spend any more cash! This is an expensive hobby!
I didn't think to ask, but what is the rest of your system? Also, what is your budget? I have another recommendation for you but it might be a little more than you want to spend.
