Hello everybody!

I just got myself a nice TT and with it I get a Dynavector high output 10x2 cartridge.
I try to search info on this item but basicly there is nothing to find.

I know it was manufactured 1980-83. Can anyone help me get a little specifications on this one?
and also, as this is a high output MC cartridge, can I use it with a Rega Fono mini wich is a mm stage?

I have 2 cartridges, the Dynavector and a Ortofon concorde Q Bert.
Now as I dont know the specification of the Dynavector, I have one more following question.

The Q bert has 11mv output, I hardly need the Rega for this on (I only use the ortofon on my trance and techno music from when I was DJing), would the Rega fono make the sound better?

Can you post a pic? I think I have one of these at my parents' house w/booklet, and can get the info when I visit in late April.

Here is some pics, I hope it helps.

I read of the 10x4 and 10x5 and they seem to be good stuff.
It would be so nice to know tracing force and other crucial data.

Have you emailed Dynavector?

No answer yet so that's why I'm here.

The cart I have looks identical but the body is silver and opaque, so probably not the same one. : ( Glad Marantz 500 could help!

Thanks Marantz 500! I was very happy to see your message!

2,3mv output. What do you all think? This would work with a mm phone stage dont you think?
The Rega fono mini has a 2mv sensitivity, they would work together but will it sound good enough?

Boys and girls! hold on to your horses... :-)

It is lovely... sounds very nice.

The setup is a Technics 1200mk2 (who could gues:banana:) with the spoken of Dynavector HO MC cartridge. Projekt phono stage and the preamp is a Parasound PL-D2000. At the end we have my McIntosh MC2125 power amp and Usher 6381 speakers...

Very happy here in sweden! Thanks for the data Marantz 500, excellent! I got it weight in today and it sounds excellent with my setup.Big thanks! :music:
