Dynavector 10X5 Cartridge

With the introduction of the new 10X5 High Output moving coil there is no doubt Dynavector will retain this enviable position and again set the standard for high output moving coil cartridges.

Improvements:
The 10X5 now features Dynavector's unique magnetic flux damping and softened magnetism (patent) along with powerful Neodymium magnet that combine to eliminate any hardness or irritating edginess that commonly occurs in many moving coil cartridges.

Dynavector are also renowned for the capability of winding the finest coil assemblies. This has enabled them to minutely increase the coil wire diameter of the 10X5 to achieve a reduction of impedance to 150 ohms whilst retaining a healthy 2.5mV output. This also ensures both a rugged and reliable circuitry.

The 10X5 also features a newly designed Aluminium head block to provide a rigid platform for the cartridge motor and secure fixing to the tonearm.

SPECIFICTIONS:

  • Type High output moving coil cartridge with flux damper and softened magnetism
  • Output Voltage 2.5mV (at 1KHz, 5cm/sec.)
  • Channel Separation 25 dB (at 1KHz)
  • Channel balance 1.0 dB (at 1KHz)
  • Frequency response 20 - 20,000Hz (± 2dB)

  • Weight 6.6 grams
  • New Threaded Head Block



    By now I think you've figured out that I enjoyed my time with the Dynavector 10x4 Mk II. I think it offers a level of musicality and record enjoyment that far exceed its retail price. Is it a cartridge for all seasons and all systems? That's a tough call, and I don't think a conscientious reviewer should make such claims, especially in light of the wide array of tastes, systems and ancillaries out there on this wild ride we call high-end audio. Those who value musical thrills over hi-fi and are budget-oriented need to give the 10x4 Mk II a serious listen. Yet I wouldn't be surprised if those of you with more analytical tastes are won over by this cartridge's abilities as well. I would even venture to say that those of you inclined to spend more money may find that the Dynavector 10x4 Mk II convinces you it's fine to spend less.

    TNT Review of Dynavector DV-10x4 MKII Cartridge
    Bar none, I found the Dynavector to be the best overall cartridge that I have had the opportunity to hear to date, and a tremendous value to boot. I give the Dynavector DV-10x4 MKII my heartiest recommendation. In fact, I have been loath to invite my friend by for a listen. He may want his albums back!

    Hi-Fi World
    The most musical cartridge at or near its price, the baby Dynavector is a classic budget audiophile product. -July 01

    Stereophile Recommended Component, Class C $$$
    The latest in Dynavector's entry-level series, the high output 10x5 moving -coil proved "ridiculously good for the money."

  • Dynavector 10x5 Cartridge [large view]

    "The Dynavector 10x5 more than lives up to my memory of its predecessor. This colorful, well-balanced, chunky-sounding cartridge played music extremely well, with a bonus of very fine stereo imaging. In other words, it's a great all-arounder...The Dynavector 10x5 should give you most of what you need at a bargain price. Wildly, highly recommended." -Art Dudley, October 2003
