The Dynavector 10X series is a high-performance moving coil (MC) cartridge that has received worldwide acclaim since its release in 1978, surprising the audio industry with the development of technology long considered a challenge for MC cartridges.

Now, in 2025, the 10X series reaches new heights of performance with a newly developed magnetic circuit that utilizes Dynavector's proprietary "Special Magnetic Annealing" technology. The new 10XA model delivers exceptionally smooth and precise analog playback, offering a listening experience that far exceeds the expectations for an entry-level model. In 2003, a solid aluminum cartridge block was introduced for greater rigidity, providing a better platform for mounting to the headshell. In 2018, the 10X5 MkII replaced the traditional elliptical stylus with a "Shibata III" line-contact stylus, which improves tracking accuracy.
