Pairing the Dynavector and Moon with the concept isn't really going to get you any further up the food chain sonic wise IMO....You need a cartridge/phono stage that are better suited for one another.....this is where your issues are IMO.
As mentioned the Concept paired up with either a Benz Ace or Concept MC are good pairings I like them better than the wood bodies with the Concept.....The ACE low output is the better of the three ACE cartridges. Last edited by Removed; 04-26-2012 at 11:25 PM. |

My dealer may mount my Dynavector on their demo Concept to let me try that out.

Understood......I would also not rule out a different phono stage with your current rig.

I know the Concept and Concept MC work well with my sub. My phono stage isn't optimal for that cartridge, but it is acceptable. I know it sound great with the DV20x2H and would most likely work great with a Maestro Wood.

The phono stage was a suggestion to try not buy to see what the out come would be.....that's all. Hope all works out

I went through that exercise and it made no difference. My dealer loaned me a different -- rather more expensive -- phonostage. It had no affect on my issues. At the moment I am convinced my cartridge is defective (for a second time), but even when it is right the table and sub interact negatively. I'm at the point that even if I solve the problem with keeping the Rega, I am too shell-shocked by the whole thing to be happy with it anymore. I will constantly question it any time I play a record that sounds "not quite so" and wonder if I have issues again. I would rather just change to something else, even if it is a lateral move.

I am about 75% at the moment I am going to spring for a Clearaudio Performance SEP. I will get a chance to talk to the rep May 8. Cartridge choice is still pending, but leaning towards a Maestro Wood.

I upgraded from the Concept to a Performance SEP with the Maestro cart. I loved the Concept, but the Performance table sounds even better to me..I think you should make the stretch and do it!

I hope it sounds better. It costs twice as much.

FYI....The Performance SEP with the AC motor is changing, they are working on a DC motor, similar type that's found in other CA models.....better and much more stable speed, should be available shortly, maybe a month or so....
