It Also Doubles As An Apple Peeler.

whew,,,,I am glad i am not into analog. This might be something I could be crazy enough do check into.....

I owned the original model. I remember it had prodigious bass, combined with lackluster high frequency response.

It had difficulty with anything less than a perfect LP, mistracking even slightly off center or warped records due to it's high horizontal mass combined with ultra short tonearm.

Does look cool though, in a strange sort of way.

Albert, It looks cool from an engineering sort of way. No doubt, it would be the topic of conversation at any audiophile get-together. Although, for those of us who subscribe to the K.I.S.S. theory........... I would gather it is available from either a high end stereo store or possibly Williams-Sonoma?

I assume by looking at it, that there is two tonearm cable termination/transitions before even leaving the tonearm.
Din #1 at the headshell, Din #2 at the rear of the tonearm.

Is that correct?

I believe that's correct, at least three counting the termination to RCA connectors.

The horizontal axis is handled by the beam with the Dynavector logo on it. The vertical axis is handled by the tiny tonearm out on the end. The large beam cannot travel vertically at all and the tiny arm cannot travel horizontally at all.

In my opinion, Dynavector's execution is a overly extreme way of increasing horizontal mass for better bass and reducing vertical mass for ultimate track ability. In theory this arm gets everything right, but as I said before I didn't like what it did, particularly in the high frequencies.

For the audition, it was mounted on my VPI, their best turntable at that time.

Perhaps there was a problem between the VPI and the Dynavector. However, the two next test with Breuer and Triplaner tonearms both performed splendidly and superior to the Dynavector, so the TT was certainly not faulty.
