Dynavector

Yep a very good buy. I haven't bought or sold used cartridges and don't know what the typical mark downs would normally occur, but I know the price you paid on that cart. represents a much much greater mark down than %50.

Does anyone know what it cost new?

And has anyone here heard it?

A brand new Dynavector DV-17D3 (current model) retails for roughly $1,100.

When your cartridge was new; it retailed for $795. There
have been four iterations since then(over 13 years),
including new/improved models and various changes(ie:
compliance, output, etc.). If it sounds good to you........
