Jelco and Dynavector


Currently I own a VPI Scout (original model). In which I have a Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua mounted. However I feel this cart might benefit from a better turntable.

The turntable I have in mind comes without an arm. However tonearms puzzle me a bit. There are the sort of affordable tonearms like Jelco, which can be bought new for about €600. Then the next step are the exotic arms like SME, Reed, Graham etc. These start at €2000.

So would a Jelco 750D work well with the Dynavector?

The TKR is a very high-end cartridge and would definitely benefit from installation in the best tonearm you can afford. I have an XX2 Mk II in a Graham Phantom Supreme and am continually impressed with the detail the combo reveals, even with material I know very well.

There are all kinds of calculators out there that can tell you about things like compliance, VTF and VTA / SRA compatibility, but I find all of that stuff largely superfluous. The biggest deal, by far IMO, is the ability to adjust VTA on-the-fly. Note that others often call this SRA adjustment, but you can't adjust one without adjusting the other and the arm manufacturers all call it VTA adjustment.

Regardless, the on-the-fly adjustment will allow you to bring out everything the TKR can offer. Since that is quite a lot indeed, you will be very well-served by going with an arm that has that ability. Good luck and happy listening!
Short answer....

Once set up properly and adjusted, the Jelco 750D would work with the DV.
There are better tonearms out there that will require you to spend lots of $$$$. The Jelco 750D is a hell of a tonearm for the asking price. Sleeper indeed! Spend the extra $$ and get the azimuth adjustable headshell and a good quality cable with it.
