Dynavector gained a reputation 20 years ago for
producing affordable high quality moving coil phono cartridges.
Many music lovers were introduced to the advantages of moving coil
for the first time through Dynavector ownership.
A major factor was the availability of high output Dynavector's
designed to work with mm inputs so saving the expense of having
to change electronics to suit a low output mc. Dynavector's crucial
breakthrough was to design a coil winding machine capable of working
with extremely fine wire so giving a high output to mass ratio.
Dynavector are delighted to announce a new model in two versions.
The Dynavector 20X-H and 20X-L. The designs draw from Dynavector's
top end XX-l.
The 20's have a similar body shape to the XX-1 and share the same
aluminium alloy body material. This makes a rigid platform for the
cartridge motor and aids secure fitting to the arm. We picked a
6mm hard aluminium pipe cantilever with a PE (perfect elliptical)
nude diamond stylus for the 20's. This cantilever assembly is coupled
to sets of coils in the 20X-H that give out a healthy 2.5 mV at
a suitable impedance for most 'moving magnet inputs. And, in the
20X-L an output of 0.25 mV suited to most moving coil input stages.
Both versions have been made available to help users get the best
result for their own circumstances. The high output model suits
valve pre-amps, basic amplifiers that only offer mm or amplifiers
with less accomplished mc sections. Using a high output can also
be of benefit if you live in an area with high radio frequency interference.
The low output version scores where a system is set up with a good
quality mc amp input.
The 20X also features two unique Dynavector benefits; flux
damping and softened magnetism. These two features combine to
eliminate the distortions caused by excess magnetic flux produced
by the high energy magnets used in modern moving coils. A compliance
of 12 cu means the 20's will suit a wide variety of popular arms
such as : Linn, Naim, SME, Well Tempered etc. Standard counterweights
should be fine but a few manufacturers offer options.
The cartridge is also available as a like for like exchange
for £316.00.

"A glorious taste of the high end at
real world prices, but match carefully with top quality ancillaries.

"if you enjoy the same things in music
that I do I don’t think you can improve on it at anything
like the price. "

"A lithe, rather airy character is apparent
the moment its stylus hits the groove, blessed with agile bass and
impressive high frequency detail"
