DYNAVECTOR XV1T - XV-1T VTF ??

Thanks guys for your answers!

The cart does not mistrack..

Ok, I've brought it back to 2.0g I've installed 260 ohm resistors and I've put the VTA down a hair to compensate for the lighter weight.

I'll obsess over it tonight and let you know how it goes.

( I listened to the cart at 2.7g for maybe 30 minutes.. I couldn't bare to leave it there.. even though it was awesome..)

Ok, I speant hours last night adjusting this cartridge and what I found was the antiskate was a little too heavy and i think the extra weight of the cartridge compensated for it which made it sound better at the heavier weight. I'm happy to report that the cartidge is at 1.96 grams and it sounds absolutley incredible, I cant believe it!

The antiskate adjustment literally only needed the slightest tweak for such a massive improvement.

question - How do you know when to stop adjusting? Right now it's so incredible.. but could it get even better?

I'm afraid to touch it!

What are your thoughts?

P.S - the sound stage also improved with the resistors in.

Many audiogoners will tell you that no anti-skate or minimal anti-skate always sounds better. Don't use test discs, use your ears.

Glad you are dialing it in and enjoying it. As an XV-1s owner, I'm envious of an XV-1t!!

"How do you know when to stop adjusting?"

I use two or three records for set up. I keep a careful log of set up parameters during the adjustment process, noting changes. If you imagine performance as a parabola, you want to go past the peak and then go back to reconfirm.

Thanks for that.
