Cartridge Advise

[deuter]

My Dynavector DV-xx2 mk2 s missing the cantilever and stylus, a turntable cleaning accident.

Would like to know what other cartridges I can explore in that price range. About $2k US


I loved the xx2 for its transparency and bass, with very good imaging and soundstage, I believe its strongest feature was its music detail retrieval and bass energy.


Please advise on what you might find in a similar or cheaper price range that might suit my requirements.


Also my tonearm is an opera consonance T1288, see details for cartridge compatibility.

Oh no! Sorry to hear.

Consider the Ortofon Cadenza Black.

Lyra Delos should also be in that price range.
