The newly revised version of the classic 17D series
DV KARAT 17DX MC Cartridge
Low Output with Diamond Cantilever
Description
Drawing on Dynavector's 'dispersion theory'
that produced the original world first KARAT series Dynavector are
indeed proud to announce the entirely new 17DX KARAT Diamond phono
cartridge. As in the past KARAT series, the frequency response of the
new KARAT 17DX at 20 to 20,000 Hz is ruler flat providing an extremely
accurate groove tracking ability. However, several new features will
ensure that the new 17DX will shortly gain the same legendary status and
soon surpass its predecessors.
Features and Improvements
The rationale for the new KARAT 17DX was to significantly improve
upon the now legendary original KARAT series. After exhaustive listening
and technical research, the decision was made to incorporate a body
machined from solid brass, Samarium-cobalt magnets for lower magnetic
resistance, unmatched coil winding techniques, the incredible 1.7mm long
cantilever with Micro Ridge stylus all combining in a brand-new KARAT
17DX that will delight the listener, providing clear and articulate
reproduction of analog recordings without a hint of harshness in the
high frequency range.
1.7mm length Diamond cantilever is much smaller than conventional cantilever
Karat 17DX showed a ruler flat response from 100 Hz to 30KHz of under ± 0.5 dB
