Another favorite cartridge vanishes.. Dynavector 17D3. GONE! replaced..

@rauliruegas 
I believe that the Kiseki Lapis Lazuli also had a one piece diamond stylus/cantilever. I have one, but my sample was already re-tipped by vdHul when it came in my possession. Despite not being original anymore, it still sounds pretty good!

My only point in mentioning the question of load resistance for the 17D3 was to inform or advise any newbie who may read this thread.  Obviously, real life experience and one's own personal taste and preferences take precedence when it comes to choosing the load resistance.  In fact, there are many cases where end users find that the "best sounding" load resistance for any particular LOMC cartridge is a value less than the theoretical ideal of 10X the internal impedance of the cartridge.  However, when you get down to using a load resistance that is around 2X the DCR of the cartridge, there are some inevitable trade-offs.  Which again is not to say there's anything wrong with that.  I'll keep an open mind when I finally set up my own 17D3.  Elizabeth, I have no idea why this makes you so angry, apparently.
