Since 2011;
VPI Super ScoutMaster with the Acrylic upgrade platter and ring clamp.
JMW 9 tonearm - Signature version.
Dynavector 20x2-L
Stainless Steel clamp
SDS
Optional HRX footers on Ginko Cloud base on 5 HVAC vibration suppressors on a Cambre rack.
HRX motor.
E.A.R. 834 Signature Phono Preamp with 3 smoothplate NOS Telefunkens.
Yesterday as I removed the Ginko dustcover, a big piece, I whacked the base of the tonearm assembly and threw off the geometry, the cartridge where the stylus enters appears to be touching the vinyl
If I'm going to take down the tt to adjust everything, I feel like this may be the time to swap out the cartridge, but for what? When I bought the Dynavector I also grabbed a used Shelter 501 off Audiogon, I really preferred the Shelter for the upper music range, but my hearing in the highs was succumbing to age, I'm 61, I went with the DV. And now with the Vandersteen 3A Signature in house, I may need to balance their natural warmth with a 'sweeter in the highs' cartridge.
And maybe I should have a pro do the install, I never really feel like I had the Dynavector 100% correct.
Thoughts?
