Hi once fellow Music Lovers,
As usual I've to ask another question from you guys, I'm looking to add one or the other on my Well Tempered Classic MK V, and knowing that the Dynavector line is often considered a match made in heaven with the Well Tempered's in general.
Yet, here in the States many claim that the 20X are the dogs of the line, and many appear to thing it would be better to get the cheaper 10X5!, as you all have assisted with sound recommendations for both the Sonneteer Campion and the DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 3's which I adore very very much by the way, I figured that some of you here would be able to offer more insight into this matter.
I've heard the Clearaudio Maestro Wood on an associates WTRP, and thought it sounded quite nice overall, and later had the opportunity to hear a XX2mk2 on the Amadeus and came away even more impressed. But then reality kicked in and I found myself thinking I'd rather invest up to $1.000 on either of these cartridges and spend the other $1.000 on 20 of those Blue Note Records - Music Matters LTD 2x 45rpm lp's. So the quest is an attempt to see what the consensus are amongst you guys?, I mean you're hitting two out of two in my book so far and in all honesty I trust in your views/opinions more then any other forum I visit - well yours and some of the young cats at echoloft.com that is.
With that being said, could those of you whom have either heard or owned one of these two cartridges share you views!, as I can only pursue one or the other.
Please take into account I'm looking for the one with the best fidelity as well as less surface noise from my vintage 50/60's Mono jazz collection. Please assist this 52 year old jazz lover whom isn't able to get out for a proper audition on either of these due to severe cases of Gout flare ups during weather months. If there was ever a time - I needed you guys ears " Now's The Time ".
Thanks to those whom are kind enough to share your knowledge in advance.
Regards,
Oscar
