Ok, I gotta admit to somet here, I've never heard a Dynavector arm...
I've admired them from afar over the years, especially as they appear as if they might be a lost limb from a mini T800 Terminator (I'll be baack!!!!). There's a lot going on within the design of this arm and it appears to push aside all known conventions in tonearm design. I'm guessing it is not a massy arm, but it sure as hell looks as if it could support a Rolls Royce Ghost, and what's with all the knobbly knobs and sticky out bits???
So, in your own words, tell me what the DV is all about... On your marks... Get set... GO!!!!
Think of it as two arms, one mounted on the end of the other. The massive gantry (and it sure as hell is a massy arm) deals only with horizontal motion, is magnetically damped and is counterbalanced with the big weight on the end. The small arm is very light, deals only with vertical motion, has its tracking weight set by a spring and is counterbalanced with the small weight on its end.
The result is a massy arm with huge damping to give the horizontal motion a feeling of being set in concrete - at least as far as the cartridge is concerned at groove velocities. The vertical motion is so sprightly, in comparison, that it tracks warped records with ease, in fact laughs them off. There is *nothing* in my collection that it cannot track.
That's all for now, but feel free to ask more questions.

Ok, I know its a shocking photo, but its all I have available at the moment:
I'll let you boys figure out what it is (fairly obvious really).
I have been meaning to post some pics of my whole system for a little while now. Must get on and do it.
DIY is fine and dandy, but just try selling it on!

The control knob looks like Thorens. The arm looks like an Acos? The clamp is definitely a Michell

I'd agree on the Thorens control... Rega R200? (Based on the Acos Lustre, I think?)The control knob looks like Thorens. The arm looks like an Acos? The clamp is definitely a Michell
