Dynavector xx2 mk2 loading sugestions
I don't want a new phono preamp just a sut nothing beets te preamp I have right now! I was thinking of bobs step up devices. 
Dynavector XX2 MKII? Your thoughts of it?
It's not the dealer who is selling it to me it's one of the salesmen who works there. Like I said he has some very high end gear and takes care of his stuff! I just can't  afford a new XX2 cartridge. So I thought this would be a good way to get in... 
Next step up from the Dynavector 20x2 for more bass?
I had the dealer mount it with 2.19gram tracking force. I don't know if that's too much. Though I find that the Rega has more bass then the systemdek. Especially with the 2m bronze.

effischer The phono preamp Is a all tube triode class A preamp and have a SUT with it that bounces the gain up to 73db. I think I should be good for xx2. My only question is how is the bass on the 17d3 compared to the 20x2L? I just like the price ... 
Out of these two cartridges which would you choose?

Out of these two cartridges which would you choose?
I have been on vinyl engine and people have had better success with the 20x2 with rega then ortofon 2m black. Also my preamp owners manual said the cary slp-98 has enough gain for cartridges low as 1.4mv. Also with the 2m bronze I have to turn the... 
Out of these two cartridges which would you choose?
I have a ortofon 2 m bronze on it right now and only need the gain nobs half way turned up. So the preamp should have more then enough gain for 2.8mv, plus I have it hooked to a cary cad120s power amp which is an awesome match. I have always owned...

Ortofon 2M Bronze vs 2M black any difference?
For the VTA issue. But dose the 2m black have different internal wiring I thought it was only the styles was the only change.

I just did a dealer demo today with nrg1000 for the cd player and preamp and a shunyata alpha anolog for the Cary power amp. I had the best made match in heaven never going back and the amp never loss of power at all. 
Has anyone had problems running kt-120s tubes in there power amp?
My friends with audio research amps said it was lamicods on the transformers and breaking them down which ended up having to replace the whole transformers of there amps. Because of the demand on the kt-120 tubes was to hard on the transformers. A...
