[Test Note] Check Empire 2000E/III on my setup
Dynavector 17D3
The Dynavector 17D3 continues the brand's short diamond cantilever series in the audiophile class. Its low 0.3 mV output needs a dedicated MC phono input or a step up transformer. The MicroRidge stylus tracks between 1.8 and 2.2 g by specification. The stylus is integrated, so a worn diamond means a retip.

Additional Info
The Dynavector 17D3 pairs refined, airy detail with a natural midrange, so vocals sit forward and smooth while imaging stays precise and layered. Its solid-diamond cantilever and MicroRidge tip give fast, clean transients with tight, controlled bass. Acoustic, jazz and vocal material on resolving systems reward it without fatigue. The stylus is integrated, so once worn only a retip is possible.
