Released as an evolution of the revolutionary 1999 DRT XV-1, the Dynavector XV-1t phono cartridge incorporates advanced technology such as 16 micron coil windings around a corrosion-resistant square-shaped armature, Alnico column magnets for magnetic circuit stability, and patented Flux Damping to minimize distortion. Its body is crafted from Urushi-lacquered bamboo, combining exceptional rigidity with natural resonance damping. The cartridge delivers a relaxed, organic, and highly resolved musical presentation with a warm and rich presence, making it a benchmark for audiophiles seeking superior analog sound quality. It includes a PF line contact stylus on a solid boron cantilever and ships with an exclusive walnut case.
