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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Annealing Magnetic Circuit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10XA-H: The Legendary High Output MC Cartridge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDynavector'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.\u003cbr\u003eRecommended load impedance is 1,000O or higher.\u003cbr\u003eConnection to a PHONO input in MM position (47KO load) is also possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10XA-L: A Low Output Model that Captures the True Characteristics of an MC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 100O or higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShibata Type III Stylus for Exceptional High Frequency Performanc\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeodymium Magnet and Softened Magnetic Field\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBroad Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe machined aluminum head block ensures a secure, rigid connection to the headshell.
