Product Summary
The Dynavector 20X2A is a high-performance moving coil phono cartridge designed to deliver detailed, dynamic and engaging vinyl playback. Known for its natural musical balance and strong tracking performance, the 20X2A is a popular choice for listeners looking to step into high-quality moving coil cartridge designs.
This cartridge is available in both high output and low output versions. The high output version is suitable for use with most moving magnet phono inputs, while the low output version is designed for dedicated moving coil phono stages or systems using a step-up transformer.
The 20X2A features a nude diamond MicroRidge stylus mounted on a solid aluminium cantilever. This advanced stylus profile allows extremely accurate groove tracing and improved retrieval of low-level musical detail across the record surface.
Dynavector’s unique magnetic flux damper and softened magnetism system help reduce distortion while maintaining excellent tracking ability. Combined with a rigid aluminium body, the cartridge offers a stable platform for precise analogue playback with strong stereo imaging and extended frequency response.
