Dynavector DV 20X2 H High Output MC cartridge

For over 35 years, Dynavector has produced moving coil cartridges that require no MC phono preamplifier or transformer. This is possible thanks to the use of powerful neodymium magnets and thin and tight coil windings. This expertise eliminates defects that are ascribable to MM and MC.

The sound stage is both precise and ample, with unparalleled depth. The timbre is beautiful and gives the vocals and string sections a natural and vibrant edge. The bass is deep, tight and perfectly in place. The top of the spectrum is riddled with details but never harsh. And, as typically with this manufacturer, the dynamics and texture are there.
