Dynavector

The seller just informed me that this actualy is the mk2 version.

That makes it a seriously good buy doesnt it?

Yep a very good buy. I haven't bought or sold used cartridges and don't know what the typical mark downs would normally occur, but I know the price you paid on that cart. represents a much much greater mark down than %50.

Dynavectors last. I have a 29 year old Dynavector Ruby 23 which is great.
The body is worth about $250 even if it needs a retip.
So yes you got a good deal.

Does anyone know what it cost new?

And has anyone here heard it?

A brand new Dynavector DV-17D3 (current model) retails for roughly $1,100.
