Re: Doh! That's the one

Actually, I got the Dynavector used from inmate John C.-Aussie for US$1K after he had been trying to sell it for a while. In a fit of trade-up itis, he had replaced it after very little use with something else (I forget what), which, he told me, really didn't sound all that different. I wouldn't ordinarily make a practice of buying a used cartridge, but I know John personally and trust him to have been honest with me about the extent of the use.

The Beta S (the version I owned) has a midrange to die for (acoustic piano reproduction is heaven!), and the rest ain't too shabby, either. The Dynavector has a little more bass extension and that "refinement" that seems to go with MCs. However, I could see some people prefering the Beta S because it has a little "punchier" sound than the Dynavector, a quality which is particularly attractive on rock music.
