Re: Benz LP vs. Dynavector XV-1s

I also cannot comment on the LP but will echo Shane's comments. I too owned a Benz Ruby and now own a Dynavector XV-1s. In MY analog system (an SME/30 and Aesthtix Io Signature) the XV-1s not only bettered the Ruby in much the same way Shane describes, it easily bettered a Clearaudio Insider Reference and a Van den Hul Colibri (3 different models) - all on the same table and arm and same associated gear. I know this is simply personal preference and opinion, but it was unanimously shared by all my audio buddies who agreed that my system clearly sounded its best with the Dynavector.

I was a Doubting Thomas on the Dyna, but took the plunge with Wally's urging, used his tools to set it up and have been in analog heaven ever since. Color me convinced. Of course, YMMV.
