Phono Stage Upgrade for Dynavector 17DX

[CrillboBaggins]

Luke, I have a Tron Seven which is similar spec but in a full size case. It's not longer sold but is available second hand occasionally.

I had a Microgroove but it was an early one and also a MM only one which I used with a Cinemag SUT.

The Microgroove was very good but the Tron is at another level especially in terms of bass and clarity.

Thanks Paul, did you go for the Signature version with your Convergence ?

I've narrowed it down to:
Tron convergence
TE The Groove Plus (used) (i'll still loan the Microgroove though)
Avid Pulsus (used)
EAR Phonobox / 834P (used)
Longdog McJ3


Would be great to be able to home demo all but not sure how realistic this is

I'd take the Longdog over the EAR phonobox, the EAR uses feedback equalisation which always sounds a bit 'sat on' to my ears.

Never heard a Tom Evans stage unfortunately.

I didn't think the EAR was anything special either.

I have the Tron Seven not the Convergence. Which is a different design but I suspect similar spec to a signature Convergence. A Tron anything is going to be decent to be honest. If you can get Graham to vouch for it and get the price down the one Emporium have is worth a punt.

I have an MFA Classic Baby SUT (1:10) for sale in the classifieds, you'd be more than welcome to try it into the mm side of your moon (just cover postage). It has 6 different load settings (see middle column in photo).

Lurch's suggestion is a really good one and could an interesting alternative approach.

Thanks John

I may well take you up on your offer after I’ve finished with the current hemp demo unit I have.

Thanks

Thought that the Rogue Ares was “voiced” using the 17dx
