Dynavector DV-10x5
The Dynavector DV-10x5 has long served as a popular first step into MC cartridges. Its healthy 2.5 mV output works into any standard MM phono input. The elliptical stylus tracks between 1.8 and 2.2 g with 2.0 g as nominal. The stylus is integrated, so a worn diamond calls for retipping.

Additional Info
The Dynavector DV-10x5 is a balanced, natural-voiced MC with a compact, engaging character. Vocals and midrange carry notable warmth and realism, while imaging and dynamics stay tight and well-focused rather than sprawling. Restrained bass keeps the picture controlled and non-fatiguing, a good match for jazz, acoustic and vocal records on modest to mid-tier systems. The stylus is integrated, so wear means a retip.
