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. The unique square shaped armature is manufactured from a carefully selected material that is both corrosion resistant and impervious to age deterioration. 16 micron coil windings that only Dynavector can manufacture are wound around square shaped armature to match the square shaped hole in front yoke.  Alnico column magnets to stabilize the magnetic circuits and increase linearity of the magnetic distribution within the air gap.  Exclusive Walnut Case.
