Dynavector Cartridge XX2 MK2 Moving Coil Cartridge. Purchased in the UK in March 2023 to try MM vs MC, barely used as my ears prefer MM after all. So this XX2 Mk2 has about 50 hours careful use, practically new. Selling at 35% below purchase price, there's no better deal for this extraordinary cartridge that is one of the best MC up to £2000. Comes with UK receipt & complete original packaging. Note that the photos show it mounted on a technics head shell so I can safely handle it for photo taking, the head shell is not included in the sale and I will post it safely packed in its original safety box and package.

PREOWNED - $2150 LIST! - FULLY TESTED - INCLUDES ORIGINAL BOX, MANUAL, CASE, MOUNTING HARDWAREThe DV XX-1 was the first cartridge to feature a magnetic flux damper (patent) and softened magnetism (patent) processes that reject the magnetic fluctuation that is detrimental to a moving coil cartridges performance. The The DV XX-2 MKII retains the benefit of the 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 discernable improvement in sound quality. The XX-2MKII also exhibits deep powerful bass, treble is both clear and lively possessing none of the hardness found in many moving coil designs. The XX-2MKII also features a 6 mm solid boron cantilever fitted with a Pathfinder Line contact stylus. PCOCC (pure copper ohno 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 ridgity of construction the XX-2 MKII cartridge body is machined from 7075 aluminium the hardest available. However, having only a total weight of only 8.9 grams it is suitable for a variety of popular tonearms.

Dynavector XX-2 MK.II Phono Cartridge in Box - Excellent Condition Selling my Dynavector XX-2 MK II cartridge in original box and packaging. It has been retipped by VAS and only has ~38 hours of use according to my stylus timer. The only reason I am selling is because I moved up to the Te Kaitora and I have a collection of carts that I need to slim down. I ran this cartridge on my Linn LP12 turntable into a Dynavector P75 phono preamp (100 Ohms fixed loading, or Dr T mode, both sound great). AMAZING sound with a mix of top and bottom end control, big musical energy/PRaT, and remarkable ability to minimize surface noises. All in all, a really wonderful cart. Includes all the documentation as well as head shell screws and stylus cover. As you can see from the pics, serial number on the box matches the serial number on the graph which matches the serial number on the cart itself. Details:•Dynavector XX2 MK2 phono cartridge in original box•Output voltage of 0.28mV and 6 ohms - suited to most moving coil phono stages•Chassis is of solid aluminum for rigid construction - total weight of 8.0 grams makes it suitable for most tone arms•Very good condition•Smoke & pet free home •Carefully packaged and shipped promptly No returns. Please refer to photos and ask any questions you may have.
