Dynavector XX-2

I like the XX-2 very much, but Uktel is right -- it's a very personal choice. The XX-2 is extremely dynamic and, I think, produces a true, natural sound. Tom Tutay is a great guy -- I bought a custom phono cable from him for my Linn TT and am very pleased with it.

I heard a shoot out between 5 different cartridges a few years ago. It was presented by Harry Weisfeld and it matched the Dynavector XV-1, Dynavector XX-2 and 3 other cartridges that I cannot remember (sorry).
What I do remember is that almost all in attendance agreed that the Dynavector XV-1 was the best of them all. However, in my mind (and ears) the XX-1 was close on it's heels and sounded quite similar. The node, however, went to the XV-1 for me also!

Anyone find them a tad slow on the bottom? Am in process of tweaking one in my system & don't know if this is a setup/system match issue or just the nature of the beast.

I like my XX-2 a lot. Check out the review of it and the DRT on TNT audio. The XX-2 holds its own.

G_m_c,

How does the XX-2 fair in light of the ZYX Universe?.
