Low Output Moving Coil Phono Cartridge

The XV-1t is the new flagship cartridge from Dynavector.

In 1999 Dynavector released the revolutionary DRT XV-1 stereo cartridge that pioneered the unique topology that included 8 Alnico magnets, magnetically stable front yokes, square shaped front armature within the rather spectacular deep "v" shaped front elevation. Combined with Dynavector's patented "Flux Damping" this cartridge quickly became the worldwide benchmark for music lovers and the audio press alike.

Flux damping technology

The subsequent flagship design for Dynavector the XV-ls released in 2002 refined and improved the technology. Retaining the patented Flux Damping but included the magnetically stable front yoke with the unique square shaped aperture and improved magnetic equalizing component, all encompassed in an African Ebony body to provide further stability for the magnetic components.

First inspection of the new DV XV-lt reveals that although it is unmistakably Dynavector, the body beautiful is Urushi lacquered over a precision machined component of heat treated bamboo that has been assiduously selected for both design, elegance and acoustic performance.

Dynavector's patented Flux Damping process has been retained in concert with new ground breaking innovations that will quickly establish the XV-lt as not only the Dynavector flagship but set the contemporary standards in analog music reproduction.

Super-analog world

Technology abounds within the XV-lt but the Dynavector "rai-son d'etre" is making the technology invisible and allowing the music to emerge like never before.

A silky smoothness is added to the musical reality which the XV cartridges have previously exhibited and as a result each instrument, performer or group is clearly imaged with a warm and rich presence. Dynavector believe that this emotive musical experience cannot be achieved by a digital source and with the XV-lt they have created a "Super Analog World".

Free Turntable setup

We carefully set up every turntable and cartridge we sell. So if you're new to turntables or have decades of experience, you know you'll be getting the most enjoyment from your system. You can be safe in the knowledge that you can take your turntable home, plug it straight in and start enjoying good music without any worry of something being setup incorrectly.

Who is this for?

The Dynavector DV DRT XV-1T Phono Cartridge is designed for the most committed analogue listeners building a true reference vinyl system. It suits audiophiles who already have a top-tier turntable, tonearm, and phono stage, and are looking for a cartridge that extracts the absolute maximum from their records in terms of resolution, scale, and musical realism.

This cartridge is best suited to highly resolving systems where every upstream component is already carefully optimised. In the right setup, it delivers extraordinary levels of micro-detail, spatial depth, and dynamic contrast, while still maintaining a natural, fluid presentation that keeps music feeling alive rather than clinical.

The XV-1T particularly rewards high-mass, well-isolated turntables and premium tonearms in dedicated listening rooms. It excels where system synergy is already strong, acting as the final transducer that reveals the full character of both the recording and the system itself.

If you are a '1s owner who is considering the '1t as a replacement or upgrade, you can be assured that everything you like about your cartridge is retained and there are meaningful sonic embellishments as well. The '1t is both the same and better

Proving once again that there is always more to be extracted from those vinyl grooves, this wonderfully refined cartridge effortlessly produces huge stereo images, with admirable bass accuracy. In the mid and treble it can be fabulously analytical, constantly arresting the ear with new details and delights on familiar records, yet never sounding hard or ‘etched’. A great cartridge, and one deserving of the finest systems.
