Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua MC Cartridge

£2,895.00

The Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua is a reference moving coil cartridge developed in collaboration between Japan and New Zealand, building on the legacy of the original “Discoverer.” Incorporating technologies from the XV-1s and XX-2, it features a rigid titanium headpiece, 6mm boron cantilever and Pathfinder line contact stylus for superb tracking and resolution.

A refined magnetic circuit with Alnico magnets, square armature design and PCOCC copper coil wire enhances linearity, smoothness and musical flow. The result is an effortlessly open, natural presentation with exquisite treble refinement and remarkable realism across the frequency range.

Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua MC Cartridge

The improved Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua continues the journey by incorporating many of the newest features of its Dynavector stable-mates, the XV-1s and XX-2. The Te Kaitora Rua has even managed to improve on the original’s silk-like treble and openness.

Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua Improvements:

  • The wire for the coil has been changed to the PCOCC copper wire from the silver wire. It sounds a much smoother and has a much better musical performance.

  • A titanium headpiece for maximum ridgity along with a miniature stainless steel bolt coupling the front and rear yokes to the magnetic circuit assembly.

  • A 6mm long boron cantilever with the Pathfinder (PF) line contact stylus as used with both Dynavector XV-1s and XX-2.

  • The ingenious square-shaped armature and matching square-shaped aperture in the front yoke providing much improved linearity in the magnetic flux distribution.

  • Alnico magnets are used for high magnetic flux density.
