Dynavector DV XX-1L
The Dynavector DV XX-1L sits in the audiophile part of the Japanese catalogue. Its low 0.25 mV output needs a dedicated MC phono input or a step up transformer. The Line Contact stylus tracks from 1.8 to 2.2 g with 2.0 g nominal. The stylus is integrated, so a worn diamond calls for retipping.

Additional Info
The Dynavector DV XX-1L delivers incisive detail with a naturally rendered vocal presence that never tips into clinical territory. Its boron cantilever and Line Contact profile lock into the groove with firm, controlled tracking, yielding a tight, focused image and dense low end without smearing. Effortless dynamic swings suit acoustic jazz, vocals and orchestral work on resolving systems. Sometimes labeled the XX-1H, it uses an integrated stylus, so wear means a retip.
