Vertere DG-1
The Vertere DG-1 Dynamic Groove is a deck/arm package that offers a fair dose of the performance of Vertere’s top-end turntables but at a far more approachable outlay. It’s designed to be easy to use, and even has the option of a fitted cartridge for those who want a complete package.
That cartridge is Vertere’s Magneto moving-magnet, and it’s essentially a rebadged Audio-Technica AT-VM520EB with a different-coloured body. Bought separately it costs £220.
As part of the Vertere DG-1 package, it’s more than capable of justifying the extra £100 it adds to the base DG-1 price of £2750. But, think of it as something to get you going, rather than the final destination. Ultimately, the DG-1’s abilities demand something better.
