Dynavector DV-XX2 mkII - Brand new!

House Cleaning Sale:

It's summer house cleaning time at The Audio Shoppe. Every so many years we spend some downtime investigating old or unopened boxes and reorganizing our warehouse. This offering is for one of several discontinued cartridges that we have decided to move along in support of the above.

This is a BRAND NEW, NEVER USED, NEVER REMOVED FROM BOX Dynavector DV-XX2 moving coil cartridge. The XX2 has been a tried and true standard at it's price point for many years.

"The The DV XX-2 MkII retains the benefit of the DV-XX-1 flux damper but features the Alnico-5 magnet and the similar rigid construction to the Te Kaitora Rua. Alnico magnets exhibit high magnetic flux density combining with a low coercive therefore magnetic resistance is lower than other magnetic types such as rare earth and ferrite, providing the exceptional stability of the XX-2 MkII output voltage. There is also the additional advantage of low magnetic and electrical resistance contributing to a discernible improvement in sound quality.

The XX-2 MkII also exhibits deep powerful bass, treble is both clear and lively possessing none of the hardness found in many moving coil designs.

The XX-2 MkII also features a 6 mm solid boron cantilever fitted with a Pathfinder Line contact stylus. PCOCC (pure copper ono continuous casting process) copper wire is used for the coil. The output voltage of 0.28mV is higher than that of the XX-2 and 6 ohms impedance are suited to most moving coil phono stages.

For rigidity of construction the XX-2 MkII cartridge body is machined from 7075 aluminum the hardest available. However, having only a total weight of only 8.9 grams it is suitable for a variety of popular tonearms."
