I'm just sharing, after many years I finally replaced my Rega Elys cart with a Dynavector 10x5. I listened today for a couple hours, the 10x is supposed to sound even better after about 30 hours. The 10x is way quieter I am amazed at how quiet it is. So far the 10x is superior in all aspects. Of course, some of it could be the difference of MM versus entry MC.
