Product Summary & Benefits Tech Specs & Variant Details

Product Summary

The Dynavector DV-20X2 is a high-performance moving coil phono cartridge designed to deliver exceptional musical detail, speed and tonal balance from vinyl playback. Built with Dynavector’s proven engineering approach, it combines advanced magnetic circuit design with a rigid aluminium alloy body to provide precise tracking and excellent resonance control.

The cartridge uses a hardened aluminium cantilever paired with a Micro Ridge nude diamond stylus. This combination allows the DV-20X2 to retrieve extremely fine groove detail while maintaining accurate tracking and smooth high-frequency reproduction.

Dynavector’s proprietary magnetic flux damping and “softened magnetism” technology help stabilise the magnetic field within the cartridge motor system. This improves linearity and reduces distortion, resulting in cleaner, more natural sound reproduction.

The DV-20X2 is available in both high-output and low-output versions, allowing users to match the cartridge to their phono stage. The high-output model works with many moving-magnet inputs, while the low-output version is designed for dedicated moving-coil phono stages.

★★★★★
What an amazing company. Anna in the Glasgow branch has been so informative and helpful with my order. Sam in the Aberdeen branch has an incredible knowledge of older amps and speakers.
Alan

★★★★★
I bought a full system from the Aberdeen shop. Christian was very attentive throughout the whole process. I found that all the staff in the shop were both knowledgeable and helpful. I would strongly recommend Holburn Hi-Fi to anyone thinking about buying a full or part Hi-Fi system.
Peter

★★★★★
Jesse is very professional and always happy to help in the Glasgow Audio store. He is very knowledgeable about the products. Highly recommend.
Kyle

★★★★★
The guys at Holburn Hifi were fantastic from start to finish. Explained everything clearly and in simple terms which I really appreciated as I was lost amongst all the info I had seen online. There was no hard sell and certainly an understanding of my budget. I can’t recommend Holburn Hi Fi highly enough. Thanks to Ian, Sam and Christian.

★★★★★
Dropped in not really knowing what I wanted. Sam was most helpful, steering me towards a solution, and avoiding going over the top. From that we moved on to updating our wifi coverage towards a network. Here, Alain was equally helpful.
