Some reviews from google:

 

 

THEN! I decided to turn on the Phono-Enhancer mode within the P75.. Which requires taking the Phonostage hood off and moving around a few switches (a little exciting If I may say so)...

And here it is...

I have, in my short life, never heard anything quite like it.. The combination of the correctly aligned cart and Phono-enhanced mode was (as many people have said before) "magical"...

If I can make an analogy it would be this:

When listening to my previous cart and preamp, It was like watching a hi-def recording of a stage show on a large TV.

My "Friday alignment" with the Dynavector and the preamp set to 'standard mode' was like watching the stage show live but the lighting was a little dim and they used a little too much smoke, not to mention you didn't have front row seats...

My current alignment with Phono-enhanced mode enabled is like watching the stage show live, with front row seats, perfect lighting and special effects, a totally engrossing experience..

"The Mk3 version is outwardly similar to the Mk2 but is actually much better finished in keeping with their full-on amplifiers. A new multi-layer printed circuit board and output amplifier contribute both better noise performance and deliver more drive current. There are more user loading and gain adjustments including that for MM. There is even more headroom from the internal power supply. All these improvements add up to a significant total performance gain - the original P75 was great value, the Mk2 was better and now the Mk3 takes no prisoners"

 

 

Tonally the MkII shows a slightly wider bandwidth with very good detail, just a hint of treble softness, a smooth, neutral midband, some bass roll-off and reduced impact. In the manner of the best audio components, the MkII extracts a huge amount of detail from the record but presents it in a totally natural way. This naturalness is the main sonic improvement over the MkI, which could on occasion appear a little aloof and mechanical. The MkII is 100% organic, presenting music as it appears in real life, full of natural colour and an engaging immediacy that elicits hours of pleasurable listening... Despite the increased competition, the Dynavector remains a bargain with its superb sound and easy price. Raise the ergonomics to same level as the excellent sonic performance and the little Dynavector would be perfect. As it is, it cements its position as a best buy in sub-$1000 phono stages. Audioenz.

The Dynavector makes me want to dance. I was tapping my feet so much while I played some of my blues LPs that my leg muscles got sore. I was blown away by the power that came from my speakers; the sense I was listening to real music, not electronically reproduced music. If you have ever been in a room with any instrument while it is being played, you can sense the sound pressure waves against your body. I don't feel that too often with music. That reality, that presence, is lost through lesser electronics. Of course, a good amount of that feeling comes from the speakers: if they lack the ability to produce that feel, those sounds, you just aren't going to hear it. Of course! But it has to be sent to those speakers from a recording. That recording has to be reproduced properly by all the electronics in the chain—especially the phonostage. The Dyna delivers that feeling. Positve Feedback.

The result? Effortless emotional involvement from a sound that just flows into the room. This really highlights what the Dynavector P75 is all about - musical neutrality. I have really enjoyed owning and using the Dynavector P100 stage but the P75 has equalled (and surpassed in some areas) its predecessor's performance for a third the price, a great achievement. I think there is a very real risk that the P75 will be overlooked on grounds of price; it's simply too cheap to appeal to some big-spending audiophiles. But that would be a huge mistake. Buy one of these little beauties and I can guarantee that the CD player will be seeing a lot less action from then on.HiFiPlus.
