DYNAVECTOR - 20X-L PHONO CARTRIDGE

Michael Fremer of Stereophile praised the Dynavector 20X-L low-output moving coil cartridge (.25mV), citing its smooth tonal balance and very good dynamics as being unusual at its price point. The Dynavector cartridges feature “Flux Damping” which helps eliminate distortions caused by excess magnet flux. At 9.1 grams and a medium compliance, the 20X-L mates well with most popular tonearms.

Dynavector's crucial breakthrough was to design a coil winding machine capable of working with extremely fine wire to give a high output to mass ratio. The design draws from Dynavector's top end XX-II. The 20X-L has a similar body shape to the XX-II and shares the same aluminum alloy body material. This makes a rigid platform for the cartridge motor and aids secure fitting to the arm. Dynavector selected a 6mm hard aluminum pipe cantilever with a PE (perfect elliptical) nude diamond stylus for the 20X-L. This cantilever assembly is coupled to sets of coils in the 20X-L that yield an output of 0.25 mV, suited to most moving coil input stages with about 60dB of gain. The low output version scores where a system is set up with a good quality MC amp input. The 20X-L 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 20X-L will suit a wide variety of popular arms.
