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.

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

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".

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.
