Description

Dynavector's DV Karat 17DX frequency response at 20 to 20,000 Hz is ruler flat providing an extremely accurate groove tracking ability. However, several new features will ensure that the new 17DX will shortly gain the same legendary status and soon surpass its predecessors. The rationale for the new KARAT 17DX was to significantly improve upon the now legendary original KARAT series. After exhaustive listening and technical research, the decision was made to incorporate a body machined from solid brass, Samarium-cobalt magnets for lower magnetic resistance, unmatched coil winding techniques, the incredible 1.7mm long cantilever with Micro Ridge stylus all combining in a brand-new KARAT 17DX that will delight the listener, providing clear and articulate reproduction of analog recordings without a hint of harshness in the high frequency range.

Professional, reliable and expeditious service. Very highly recommended.

This Laiv preamplifier (HP2A) is a perfect match for my system that also includes Laiv Harmony DAC and Laiv uDDC re-clocker. My active speakers (pair of Buchardt A1 and SUB 10)are driven directly by HP2A preamp, XLR output. The sound is perfectly coherent, detailed without any hints of digital harshness from the DAC side. It is very slightly warm sounding but not slow or too dark. The physical construction is superb and leaves impression of a long term reliability. I do not use headphone preamp outputs in my configuration. Overall - this is a reasonably priced high quality unit that delivers on a promise on detailed but not clinical sound regardless of the connected source (analog or digital balanced inputs). Highly recommended especially when matched with other Laiv components.

It is a blessing to have this cartridge singing music in our household. This is my first MC cartridge. I’ve had MM before also Benz Micro but this is a great upgrade. Recommend it.

Noteworthy Audio was great to work with, Nick was very helpful and friendly. Grateful to have my dream amp, the Ferrum Oor, which arrived quickly and very safely packed. Definitely recommend the professional services of Noteworthy.

This amplifier drives my quad els57 speakers Beautifully. Much Crisper and deeper Bass than I thought those old speakers could make. quite an improvement from my Quad II monoblocks.

The least “electronic “ sounding moving coil I have used. Not as extending in the high frequencies or as detailed as the Lyra Kleos, but very natural sounding in the midrange. Low frequencies have a nice bloom, imaging is very good.
