Dynavector 10x5

[floyd droid]

The 10x5 was next on the list, then I happend to run into the 'Pearwood Celibration Sumiko', the rest is history, as 'Floyd D' will confirm.

Indeed I can . Nice to see you lob a post up CJ. I still look around now and again for a Pearwood thats been twa**ed. Because if I find one you know exactly where its next port of call will be.

Sorry Steve, its an 'arm and a leg' new, but find one that is worn out, a friendly dealer perhaps . . . ???? reimbers him for the trade-in he gave, have it re tiped at NW Analogue, you have a peach of a cartridge. Only problem is the MC step up required. I serched around and found an old MC transformer with veriable load. Takes time, patience and dedication I surpose :? . . . the 10x5 is a good'un.

Pah , a mere snip at the price Steve.

Check some of the Koetsus , not the cheap as chips Blacks go up the ladder. You can of course have one made to your own specs !!.

Soundsmith Strain Guage ( fully loaded ). Dont wet yer pants but its way over 5k in its base form alone.

Clearaudio Goldfinger Statement. Erm roughly 9k to you Steve.

Gawd theres loads out there at stupid money mate. But theres a market and they sell em .

They all look the same bounced mind

No it is NOT!!! :roll:

I've state some times that in my system didn't like silver cables, to bright! My Supra are cooper with tin bath and love them. 😉

You have to draw a line some where, and Steve is drawing his...

:cheers:

Jesus wept !!. I hope your chill pill kicked in over night .

Synesthesia? Ideophonic? (Where's Andrew?)

You see a metal tweeter and the sound seems metallic. (And silk domes sound 'silky'.)

Valves are warm and they glow so the sound seems warm.

A cartridge body is carved from wood so the sound is 'organic'.

You can touch an LP so sound from vinyl is 'tangible'.

Just a thought.

Someone has loaned me a Dynavector 10x5 to try.........

Fitting was very straigtforward, a little bit of tweaking the tracking weight & bias and a quick phone call has seen me right. Running it at 2.0g (recommended 1.8-2.2g) Bias 1.0

Initial impressions are what I hoped - totally different to the Exact

A very open, transparent presentaion, more air around individual instruments - not a hint of brightness

Bass a little tauter

All in all very enjoyable, got the house to myself so going to go through a 'few' records

Love it!

Sounds really good....

What are you using to convert the Rega phono stage into a moving coil?

Don't you go there... 😉

You broke the Rega sinergy by buying a Dynavector cart... 😉 8)

In a few months time you may change your opinion too regardering cables.

What are you using to convert the Rega phono stage into a moving coil?

It's a high output MC.

Never heard of that before. Are most MC high output?

Does that mean the cart has extraordinarily high MVs?

 

[floyd droid]

Nope a fair few coils have stupidly low outputs. A high output coil generaly is 2.5mv so you bolt into the MM phono et voila !.
