Popular Dynavector 20x2-H MC Phono Cartridge Is Now Better Than Ever, with Solid Aluminum Alloy Body and Micro-Ridge Stylus for Superior, Ultra-Precise Tracking

Over the decades, Dynavector has become synonymous with audiophile performance and tremendous value, and the 20x2-H high-output, moving-coil (MC) phono cartridge fully embodies those two concepts. This wildly popular cartridge is better than ever, thanks to some significant upgrades. The most obvious upgrade is the new solid aluminum alloy body lifted directly from the XX-2 model. Additionally, the 20x2 is now "hot-rodded" under the hood, with an upgraded magnet structure and a nude mount Micro-Ridge stylus for superior, ultra-precise tracking. These upgrades allow the 20x2 to deliver a greater sense of warmth and naturalness while simultaneously opening up the dynamic range for greater power and sonic nuance.

The outstanding performance of Dynavector high-output MC cartridges can be attributed to the exclusive Dynavector-designed coil-winding machine, which is capable of utilizing extremely fine coil wire to provide an impressive high-output-to-mass ratio.

Few cartridges possess this level of sonic sophistication, much less ones offered at this price. The magnetic flux damping and softened magnetism, along with powerful neodymium magnets, give the 20x2-H a muscular 2.8 mV output—suitable for most moving-magnet (MM) inputs. (Alternatively, a low-output model, the Dynavector 20x2-L, is also available from Music Direct, and it has an output of 0.3 mV, which is ideal for most MC phono stages.)
