This cart is on a different level. Much more detail on the secondary background instruments and voices. Extremely quiet. Surface noise on a properly cleaned record is very good. Just like the 20xl2 it took about 50 Hours to break in. If you like the Dynavector sound you'll get more of it.Im told 50 hours is needed to break in. Let me know the differences between this and the 20X2L. I have a 20X2L and would consider upgrades.
The Karat 17DX is a totally new cart compared to it's previous models. I'm sure there are plenty of excellent carts out there. But I'm totally satisfied w/my Karat.Nice. Question: It seems that generally speaking Dynavector is looked down upon by the high end community. It seems names Like Kiseki or Koetsu etc are highly regarded. I have a decent analog set up (VPI Classic 2, Art Audio Vinyl Reference, Modwright LS100 Pre, Wells audio amp. Im thinking putting in a3K cartridge may not be in line with the rest of my system. Thoughts?
