RE: Dynavector cartridges


What exactly am I kidding back.

Anytime I mention my SS rebuilt Dyna XX-2 MkII, I make it clear that I am referring to a SS rebuilt one. I don't claim that it sounds identical to a stock XX-2. I hope that I am always clear that my Dynavector comments are based on my experience with a SS rebuilt XX-2.

Do you have direct experience comparing an SS rebuilt Dyna to an original? At the time I was considering this purchase I looked for anyone who had done a comparison with no luck.

All that said, a buddy who is a former Dynavector dealer has heard my rebuilt XX-2 and he didn't note any major difference between my rebuilt ones and other stock XX-2s he has seen. Though sure a direct A/B would likely reveal some differences (especially since the SS rebuild uses a ruby and not boron cantilever), I still feel confident that my cart has the predominant Dyna character. And I'd wager good money that it sounds better than a 20X2L or 17D3, which are closer in price to what I paid.
