Dynavector DV XX2 MKII MC cartridge

Dynavector's XX-1 was the first cartridge to feature the 'Magnetic Flux Damper' and the 'Softened Magnetism'. Both these processes make it possible to remove magnetic fluctuation that adversely affects this cartridge. In addition to these elaborate features, alnico magnets have been added for greater magnetic power. Combined with low resistance, it delivers an extremely stable output voltage. Moving coils consist of a high purity copper wire. The 6 mm cantilever is made of boron and accommodates a stylus with a very complex profile, known as 'Pathfinder'. The body is made of one piece of very hard aluminium (7075) giving it amazing rigidity and neutrality. The 0.28 mV output voltage, combined with the 6 ohm impedance makes it compatible with most high-end and mid-range phono preamplifiers. This cartridge boasts amazing build and technological qualities that immediately stand out on playback. As always with Dynavector the dynamics live up to expectations. The bass is powerful and well articulated. The treble is clear, precise and vibrant, without any harshness, as is the standard with many MC cartridges. The atmospheres are faithfully reproduced and we are often surprised by the unusual length of the reverberations in concert halls.
