Hello,
Im thinking about adding the XV-1S to my stable, especially for paring with my DV507MK2 arm.
is there anyone who know about it fully and compared it to other big $$ carts that on the market right now, and can shade some light about his strength and character ?
I play my DV-X1s with a DV-507MK2 + Fidelity Research FR-T4, I really like this combination, maybe by using the FR-T4, I do not hear high frequency hisss! The set delivers a good separation between channels and a good sound stage illusion! I recommend the combination, but I also have to say that it plays very well when combined with the Kuzma 4point! I have a Koetsu Jade Platinum, are two different worlds, Koetsu is more intimate, very musical, but less defined, the XV-1s has an incredible definition and a much faster transient! Both are very good and I like them a lot, but on the DV-507 MKII I would go for XV-1s! I hope I've helped a bit!
