Dynavector DV 10XA-H/L Phono Cartridge

A High Output MC Cartridge Cherished Worldwide Since 1978

The Dynavector 10X series is a high output Moving Coil (MC) Cartridge that has been acclaimed worldwide since its release in 1978, amazing the audio industry by unleashing something that was long considered a challenge for MC cartridges.
In both 1978 and 1981, the 10X series was honored the Design and Engineering Award at Chicago CES(Consumer's Electronics Show)and has continued to captivate audiophiles around the world with its distinctive red body.
Since its debut, the 10X series has continuously evolved to deliver a better experience for our users. In 2003, a solid aluminum head block was introduced for increased rigidity providing a better platform to secure with the headshell. In 2018, the 10X5 MkII replaced the traditional elliptical stylus tip with a "Shibata III" line contact stylus improving tracking ability.
Now, in 2025, the 10X series reaches new heights of performance with a newly developed magnetic circuit that incorporates Dynavector's proprietary "Special Magnetic Annealing" technology. The new 10XA model delivers exceptionally smooth and articulate analog playback, offering a listening experience that goes far beyond what is expected from an entry-level cartridge.

Features of 10XA phono cartridge

Special Annealing Magnetic Circuit

The magnetic circuit, which is the core of an MC cartridge, uses pure iron that has stable magnetic properties with minimal distortion. Furthermore, by performing special annealing that focuses on optimizing the magnetic annealing process such as annealing temperature, environment, heating duration, and heating / cooling rates, we have succeeded in delivering expansive resonant sound without distortion and unrivaled resolution.

10XA-H: The Legendary High Output MC Cartridge

Dynavector's unique coil winding technology made high output MC cartridges possible. By winding an ultra-fine wire many times around the coil bobbin, the phono cartridge can retain a healthy 2.8mV output, eliminating the need for a head amplifier or a step-up transformer. It retains the sonic advantages of an MC cartridge while offering the ease of use of an MM cartridge.
Recommended load impedance is 1,000Ω or higher.
Connection to a PHONO input in MM position (47KΩ load) is also possible.

10XA-L: A Low Output Model that Captures the True Characteristics of an MC

The low-output 10XA-L model offers an output voltage of 0.5mV, allowing excellent compatibility with a wide range of step-up transformers and head amplifiers. This model lets you fully experience the distinct qualities of MC playback. Recommended load impedance is 100Ω or higher.

Shibata Type III Stylus for Exceptional High Frequency Performance

To meet the demands of today's wide range analog playback systems, the 10XA features a Shibata Type III stylus, known for its superior high-frequency response. The cantilever is made from lightweight, rigid aluminum pipe. This improves groove tracking significantly, enabling higher resolution playback.

Neodymium Magnet and Softened Magnetic Field

This series employs a patented "Softened Magnet" technology developed to reduce distortion and harsh irritating edgy sounds caused by rare earth magnets, while still achieving high output from powerful neodymium magnets. By taking advantage of the powerful magnetic force of neodymium magnets, the phono cartridge produces a clean, well separated sound.

Broad Compatibility

The machined aluminum head block ensures a secure, rigid connection to the headshell. With a compliance of 12mm/N and a total weight of 7.5g, the 10XA is compatible with a vast majority of tonearms in the market.

Expensive and Weak

they don't hold anything substantial unless you screw them in. Defeats the purpose of a magnet.

Magnetic hooks
Color: Black3pro
They are nice magnets but don’t hold much weight and slide down the metal wall. They are good for small lighter items. Really don’t see them as heavy duty.

Good product
Size: 2.5", Style: Closed Hooks
Strong magnets that stay on wall once applied. Definitely holds the weight that it says it holds on the product. Good size to hold my halters in my barn. Would buy again and I think the price was a little high for this product, but it was worth the purchase.
