Dynavector KARAT 17DX Moving Coil Cartridge

The Dynavector KARAT 17DX Moving Coil Cartridge has been designed to significantly improve upon the now legendary original KARAT series. After exhaustive listening and technical research by the Dynavector engineering team, 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 Dynavector KARAT 17DX that will delight the listener, providing clear and articulate reproduction of analogue recordings without a hint of harshness in the high frequency range.
