Dynavector 10×5 mk11
Dynavector 10X5 MK11 high output moving coil cartridge
The 10X5 is a great entry into the world of Dynavector cartridges and now after a significant time it has now been upgraded into a mk11 model. This has given it an upshift in performance due to several design changes including a new tip and cantilever. It is still a high output MC design that will work well into most MM phono stages. It is a very natural musical performer and one of their most popular models. We recommend that if you are seeking the benefits of a high performance moving coil design without having to change your phono stage then this is a must listen cartridge.
Description
First released in 1978 and recipient of the prestigious (at the time) Design and Engineering Award at the Chicago CES in both 1978 and 1981. The new Dynavector 10X5 MKII MC cartridge presents a new benchmark in High Output MC cartridge performance not requiring a step-up device or MC phono preamplifier.
Improvements
Along with several exclusive Dynavector technologies that include Magnetic Flux Damping, Softened Magnetism (Patent) and powerful neodymium magnets that provide the smooth treble response Dynavector are renowned for.
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.
