Dynavector DV10X5 MKii MC Cartridge

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. The red body which is a feature of the 10X series has been manufactured for over 40 years. It is produced in the largest quantity as a representative model of Dynavector Cartridge and is most favoured for audiophiles all over the world 10X5 which was released in 2003 features a powerful neodymium magnet and a newly designed Aluminium head block to provide a rigid platform for the cartridge motor and secure fixing to the tonearm. The magnetic flux damping and softened magnetism along with powerful neodymium magnets gives the DV-10X5mkII a healthy 2.8 mV output - suitable for most MM inputs. Since DV-10X5mkII doesn't need a head amplifier or step-up transformer, you can use Dynavector MC Cartridge simply.

The Dynavector 10X5 MKII also features an improved stylus assembly with the nude diamond “Shibata III” line contact stylus and improved hardened cantilever material. These improvements ensure secure tracking ability over even the most torturous of record grooves whilst achieving extended high frequency response and enhanced musical resolution.
