Until the Apheta cartridge, Rega used to put the $600 Exact on their $5,000 P9. Even now, the Apheta they're selling with their top of the line turntables doesn't approach the price of the turntables. The price of the Exact doesn't approach the price of the RP6 they bundle with it. On my own P9, I was very impressed with how good the modest Dynavector sounded. I was also impressed with how good the Elys sounded on my previous P5. My current cartridge is a Benz that currently lists for less than a third of what the P9 sold for at the time.

That aside, the $400 Dynavector sounds nice on the $400 Pro-Ject. It's in a system with poorly placed speakers, due to room use, so it has its limitations. But with a sub and with my ears in the sweet spot, it serves well.
