Development Background-

For more than 30 years Dynavector has been actively researching how the properties of the magnetic circuits in a cartridge affect the sound quality and performance. This effort has produced cartridges containing many innovations, such as the flux damper and soft magnetism (both of which have been patented), resulting in exceptional sound quality.

While digital sound reproduction has advanced, Dynavector has always kept its cartridges one step ahead of the new media and formats. In the case of the original XV-1, the linearity of the magnetic field distribution in the air gap and its further improvement in the XV-1s, created a cartridge with exceptionally rich presence and musical reality. The outstanding performance of the XV-1s gained and sustained a very high reputation with music lovers and the top audio magazines since its launch and over the past several years. During this period Dynavector has spent considerable time trying to produce a cartridge that significantly advances the performance of the XV-1s; the result is the statement and flagship moving coil cartridge- the DRT XV-1t.
