Dynavector DV507-II on Technics SL-1210

[MartinT]

So, no sale to me then? Looks like I'll have to find a 507 of my own.

No sale I'm afraid, Barry

Hi Martin

Congratulations on your new baby!

It's great when things like this work out, I 'took a punt' on the whole 1210/SME thing over a year ago and it's turned out to be the best thing I have ever done in 30+ years of hi-fi, cheers.

Happy days my end too martin ... Even through the basic project phonobox it sounds alright ... Roll on tomo when I can get some slightly better pre amp involved!

Top tip: If you have a big car and can't drive, don't visit Dartmouth or go on foot. :-)

Don't visit Devon period! I'm really fed up with having to reverse half a mile up a lane because the Grockle (err I mean tourist) is unable or unwilling to reverse 5meters to the passing place!

Hi Martin

i can imagine the sense pride and er well unbridled joy that you must feel about the 507 and how it sounds .

Getting the 309 for myself is the same ! i did say i would stop at this point .

But i really need to know what the Mike New Platter and Bearing can do for this deck ' we'll see .

[MartinT]

Chris - since you have a TimeStep bearing I don't really know what benefit you would hear with the Mike New bearing, suffice to say that it did bring a whole new dimension to insight and clarity.

Perhaps now is the time for you to look at cartridges again. I could make a recommendation

Hi Chris

The way I see things is the Mike New bearing gives you more options for the future, from what you've written about the benefits of the TimeStep you are already getting the vast majority of the MN performance so probably for now a new cartridge is the best thing, as Martin suggests.
At least with the 309 you can feel confident that you can use pretty much any cart you like, perhaps even a Decca (maybe).

Cheers

Thanks Guys '

I must be careful here as its Martin's thread ! but yeah its time for a proper cartridge i think .

Any suggestions are most welcome ' A Decca working right is something else Ralph !.


Martin ' i wonder how this would sound with your Dv507
