The original Te Kaitora cartridge was the result
of collaboration between Dynavector Japan and Dynavector New Zealand.
The Te Kaitora allowed analogue enthusiasts to embark on a voyage
of discovery to the outer limits of vinyl reproduction.
The improved 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.
Note: Te Kaitora means "The
Discoverer" in the language of the NZ
Maori people, Rua, is "the
second version".
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.
