DRT XV1-S
£2,895
Dynavector continue to research and have pushed the
boundary further with the NEW XV-1s. Although the
specifications remain the same a significant up upgrade in
both magnetic and body parts achieve a startling
improvement in imaging, along with a smooth as silk
extension over the entire frequency range
8 Alnico magnets, superb sound.
Output 0.30 mV, minimum load 30 ohms. 12.6 grams
Stereo and Mono versions available.
TE-KAITORA
RUA
£1,995
The original Te Kaitora cartridge was the result of
collaboration between Dynavector Japan and Dynavector New
Zealand. The Te Kaitora allowed analogue enthusiasts to
embark on a voyage of discovery to the outer limits of
vinyl reproduction.
The improved Te Kaitora Rua incorporates many of the newest
features of its Dynavector stable-mates, the XV-1s and
XX-2. The Te Kaitora Rua has even managed to improve on the
original's silk-like treble and openness.
Titanium headpiece
Alnico magnets, pcocc coils.
Output 0.26mV, minimum load 30 ohms. 9.8grams
XX2
MkII
£995
The DV XX-1 was the first cartridge to feature a "magnetic
flux damper" (patent) and softened magnetism" (patent)
processes that reject the magnetic fluctuation that is
detrimental to a moving coil cartridges performance.
The The DV XX-2 MKII retains the benefit of the flux damper
but features the Alinco-5 magnet and the similar rigid
construction to the Te Kaitora Rua. Alnico magnets exhibit
high magnetic flux density combining with a low coercive
therefore magnetic resistance is lower than other magnetic
types such as rare earth and ferrite, providing the
exceptional stability of the XX-2 MKII output voltage.
There is also the additional advantage of low magnetic and
electrical resistance contributing to a discernable
improvement in sound quality.
The XX-2MKII also exhibits deep powerful bass, treble is
both clear and lively possessing none of the hardness found
in many moving coil designs.
Alnico magnets, boron cantilever. Powerful sound.
Output 0.28mV, minimum load 30 ohms. 8 grams
Karat
17D3
£595
The new 17D3 Karat Diamond is the first cartridge built
using 'dispersion' theory. Its Micro-Ridge stylus and very
short (1.7mm) solid diamond cantilever give a huge
reduction in 'frequency dispersion', unmatched dynamics and
a high frequency extension all the way up to 100kHz. The
latest patented magnet circuit design increases the output
to 0.3mV with crystal clear mid-range and treble even
during the largest symphonic crescendos.
Miniature diamond cantilever, fast and detailed sound.
Output 0.30 mV, minimum load 100 ohms 5.3 grams
DV20X
(H and L)
£395
DV-20X has a solid aluminium alloy body similar to the
XX-2. The cantilever is a 6mm length of hard aluminium pipe
with a Micro-Ridge stylus. The magnetic flux damping and
softened magnetism along with powerful neodymium magnets
gives the 20XH a healthy 2.8 mV output - suitable for most
MM inputs. The 20XL has an output of 0.3 mV ideal for most
MC phono stages.
Both high and low versions of their 20X are available
ensure for the optimum end result. The high output model is
most suited to valve preamplifiers or electronics that only
offer MM inputs whilst the low output version offers superb
performance when combined with dedicated moving coil
inputs.
Higher performance version of 10X
High or Low output. 2.8 mV/0.30mV
Loading 47K and 30 ohms. 8.6 grams
DV10X5
£265
The Dynavector 10X series High Output Moving Coil cartridge
debuted in 1978 winning the prestigious Design and
Engineering Award at the Chicago CES in both 1978 and 1981.
The 10X series cartridges are also widely accepted at the
benchmark in High Output moving coil cartridge at this
price point and beyond.
With the introduction of the new 10X5 High Output moving
coil there is no doubt Dynavector will retain this enviable
position and again set the standard for high output moving
coil cartridges.
The ubiquitous one, use into MM input, avoid cost of head
amp.
Output 2.5 mV loading 47Kohms (mm) 6.6 grams
507mk11
Arm
£2,995
The new MKII version of the Dynavector DV 507 tonearm has
made its long-awaited debut, building on the strengths of
the original DV 507 which has enjoyed the highest
reputation among audiophiles world-wide since its
appearance in 1984.
As
it is a bi-axis inertia controlled tonearm the DV 507, no
matter the type of cartridge can trace the music signal
grooves cut in the recording with extreme accuracy. The DV
507 also provides superb trackability on warped recordings.
Resolution and musical detailing are quite remarkable.
