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.

Ideal - Organized and Many Plug-in Options
Size: 6ft Cord, Color: 20W_Black
Just what I was looking for at the bottom side of my bed stand to keep 5-7 cords organized and the area clean, .... clock, lamp, chargers, infarred heating pads, and other plug-ins and charger cords as needed.

Needs better hardware
Size: 6ft Cord, Color: 20W_Black
Yoooooo great product but what is with the comically tiny screws? Actually installing this on the underside of a wooden desk is near impossible unless, of course, you are in fact a Disney princess and in charge of a team of handy-dandy mice all with #0 Phillips head screwdrivers and 5/32" drill bits. They drill, you hold, kind of thing.

Great for cable management
Size: 6ft Cord, Color: 20W_Black
If you are obsessed with keeping cables neatly organized for your desk, this is the perfect power strip to get. It comes with decent enough screws for mounting that will hold the weight of all the cords you plug in. The outlets on all three sides is very convenient and makes it a snap to fit all your devices in even with some having very large adapters on the plugs, which often take up a majority of the power strip. I have already purchased a couple more so I can organize my wife's desk and one of my kid's desks.
