You may be interested that I am listening to it right now. Some music in lighter vein - Richard Tucker 'In Memoriam' box set. As I write, singing his heart out - Tiritomba and Vienna City of my Dreams...

Hello JohnG

If I may put it this way, making lovely music to live longer by 8)

Thanks for the kind words - it was a tough job and difficult to reassemble as everything had to be glued together.

Regards

Hi,
the top picture of the Dynavector XV-1s shows two curiosities:

1- an apparent jelly in the air gap between coils and body.

2- TWO apparent tips mounted 180 degrees from each other on the cantilever.

What are those?

Good luck,

i think the tip has only one functioning site, it is just longer to get a better-steadier positioning. of course i might be wrong...

great looking cart anyway

Sounds sublime. I thought that was glue on the cantilever?

That's amazing. It's like having a piece of 2001 A Space Odyssey on the end of a turntable arm. Monolithic. I guess it might sound good too. I instantly want one but I suspect that it's too weird to go on an RB300.

The stylus guard looks very similar to the guard on the Denon DL-110/160 HOMC.
