The Shibata III line contact profile makes a narrow, precise contact with the groove wall, tracing high-frequency content with greater accuracy than an elliptical stylus, while spreading the stylus load across a larger contact area to reduce groove wear. The hardened cantilever material is stiffer and more resistant to deformation than standard aluminium, improving signal transmission integrity across challenging groove modulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin: 1rem 0; display: block;\" alt=\"Dynavector DV10X5 MKII stylus assembly\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dynavector.com\/products\/cart\/images\/10x5mk2_stylus.gif\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Output Moving Coil (HOMC) — 2.8mV output, compatible with standard MM phono stages at 47kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo step-up transformer or MC phono stage required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic Flux Damping (patented) — controls resonance for smooth treble extension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftened Magnetism (patented) — reduces coloration and improves linearity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful neodymium magnets — high sensitivity and dynamic range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNude Diamond \"Shibata III\" line contact stylus — superior groove tracing and reduced record wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened aluminium cantilever — improved stiffness and signal integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynavector fine-wire coil winding — increased windings, reduced impedance (150Ω), retained output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRigid red aluminium head block — stable cartridge platform, easy tonearm mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCES Design and Engineering Award — 1978 and 1981\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in High Output (H) and Low Output (L) versions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin: 1rem 0; display: block;\" alt=\"Dynavector DV10X5 MKII dimensions\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dynavector.com\/products\/cart\/images\/10x5mk2_dimension.gif\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh output moving coil with flux damper and softened magnetism\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.8mV (at 1kHz, 5cm\/sec)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChannel separation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25dB (at 1kHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChannel balance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.0dB (at 1kHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20–20,000Hz (±2dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompliance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12mm\/N\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTracking force\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.8–2.2g (recommended: 2.0–2.2g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImpedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended load impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026gt;1,000Ω (standard MM 47kΩ suitable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCantilever\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6mm hardened aluminium pipe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStylus tip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNude Diamond \"Shibata III\" Line Contact\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Dynavector DV10X5 MKII need a special MC phono stage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — this is the key practical advantage of the DV10X5 MKII.

This ultra-fine architecture maximises flexibility for easy routing inside the headshell while simultaneously delivering a pure, uninterrupted signal path from cartridge pins to tonearm output. Dynavector specifies pure copper with no mixed metals such as silver, a deliberate choice that produces a smooth and natural tonal balance rather than the hyped high-frequency character that silver-blended conductors can introduce. The conductor geometry is identical to that used in Dynavector's CP-1 phono interconnect cable, ensuring consistent metallurgical continuity across the entire signal chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRhodium-Plated Connectors for Precision Contact\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the four terminal pins in the CL-1 set is finished with rhodium plating.

The colour-coded design of the connector ends simplifies correct channel and polarity assignment during installation. The inner diameter at the cartridge end is 1.2 mm and narrows to 1.0 mm at the headshell end, covering the full range of terminal pin sizes found on Dynavector MC cartridges as well as the majority of moving-coil and moving-magnet cartridges from other manufacturers.

The set is manufactured in New Zealand by Dynavector, a company with decades of expertise in moving-coil cartridge design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Dynavector CL-1 compare to the Ortofon LW-800S or Audio-Technica headshell leads?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynavector CL-1 distinguishes itself through its exclusive use of pure copper conductors with no silver blending, a deliberate choice for smooth tonal neutrality rather than the emphasised high-frequency character that silver-alloy leads such as the Ortofon LW-800S can introduce. The rhodium-plated pins of the CL-1 provide a harder contact surface than the gold plating found on many stock and aftermarket lead wires, including standard Audio-Technica headshell leads, which proponents argue reduces micro-level coloration at the critical cartridge contact point. The CL-1 also shares its conductor geometry with Dynavector's own CP-1 phono cable, allowing for a fully matched copper signal chain from stylus to phono stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the Dynavector CL-1 work with cartridges other than Dynavector models?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Dynavector CL-1 is compatible with the vast majority of phono cartridges and headshells available on the market. The dual-diameter terminal pins (1.2 mm and 1.0 mm) are sized to fit standard cartridge pins found on moving-coil and moving-magnet designs from brands including Ortofon, Sumiko, Hana, Shelter, and Audio-Technica. Dynavector recommends using a pin tool to gently adjust the connector opening if the fit is tight due to minor manufacturing tolerances in the cartridge terminals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the benefit of rhodium plating on headshell lead wire connectors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRhodium plating on headshell lead wire connectors provides a harder, thinner contact surface than conventional gold plating. The increased hardness of rhodium means the plating layer can be applied more thinly while still resisting oxidation and wear, resulting in a more direct metal-to-metal contact at the cartridge pin junction. Audiophiles who have compared rhodium to gold-plated leads consistently report that rhodium reduces perceived coloration, particularly a slight warmth or softness that gold plating can introduce into the signal. The Dynavector CL-1 uses rhodium plating on all four connectors for this reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Dynavector CL-1 improve the sound of an existing cartridge setup?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, upgrading worn or low-quality stock headshell lead wires to the Dynavector CL-1 is one of the most cost-effective refinements available in an analog turntable system. The headshell leads carry the cartridge's output signal at its most vulnerable point, before any amplification, so any resistance, oxidation, or coloration introduced at this junction affects the entire downstream signal chain. Replacing degraded leads with the CL-1's high-purity copper conductors and rhodium-plated pins can restore channel balance, improve transient clarity, and reduce veiling in the mid and high frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I install the Dynavector CL-1 headshell lead wires?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of the Dynavector CL-1 follows the standard headshell wiring convention. The colour-coded wires correspond to the four cartridge pins: left channel positive (white), left channel negative (blue), right channel positive (red), and right channel negative (green). Connect each wire to the matching pin on the cartridge and route it through the headshell body to the corresponding tonearm contact. The flexible stranded construction of the CL-1 makes the wires easy to handle and position inside the headshell. If any connector fits too tightly onto a cartridge pin, Dynavector recommends widening the opening gently with a pin tool before applying force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Dynavector CL-1 headshell lead wires in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynavector CL-1 headshell lead wire set is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised Dynavector dealer located in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound stocks a curated selection of analog accessories alongside turntables, cartridges, phono stages, and hi-fi separates.

By carefully controlling annealing temperature, environment, and heating and cooling rates, Dynavector refines the magnetic properties of the circuit to minimise distortion while maximising resolution and dynamic openness. Alongside this, Dynavector's patented Softened Magnetism technology addresses a known weakness of neodymium magnets: the harsh, edgy character that powerful rare-earth magnets can introduce into the treble. By softening the magnetic field around the neodymium motor, the ASKA achieves the high output and clean channel separation of a powerful magnet system without sacrificing tonal smoothness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Models for Every System: ASKA-H and ASKA-L\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ASKA-H uses Dynavector's proprietary high-output coil winding technology, where ultra-fine wire is wound many times around the coil bobbin to achieve a 2.8 mV output. This allows the ASKA-H to connect directly to a standard MM phono input (47 kOhm), or to an adjustable input set to 1 kOhm or higher, making it the easiest entry point into MC performance for listeners upgrading from a moving magnet setup. The ASKA-L, by contrast, outputs 0.3 mV and delivers the full, uncompromised characteristics of a traditional low-output MC cartridge, with recommended load impedance of 30 ohms or higher. It is ideally paired with a dedicated MC phono stage or a quality step-up transformer and rewards listeners with a more expansive, three-dimensional soundstage.

Japan, featuring a Special Annealing pure iron magnetic circuit, patented Softened Magnetism neodymium motor, and an elliptical stylus on a 6 mm hardened aluminium cantilever. It is offered in two variants: the ASKA-H (2.8 mV, for MM phono inputs) and the ASKA-L (0.3 mV, for MC phono stages or step-up transformers). Both are hand-assembled and individually inspected by Dynavector, a company with nearly 50 years of MC cartridge development history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Dynavector ASKA-H and ASKA-L?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ASKA-H and ASKA-L share the same magnetic circuit, cantilever, and stylus, but differ in their coil winding and output voltage. The ASKA-H uses Dynavector's high-output coil winding technology to produce 2.8 mV, making it compatible with any standard MM phono input (47 kOhm) and eliminating the need for additional gain equipment. The ASKA-L produces 0.3 mV and requires a dedicated MC phono stage or a step-up transformer, offering the full sonic character of a traditional low-output MC with a wider and more three-dimensional soundstage for those with the appropriate downstream equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Dynavector ASKA compare to the Ortofon 2M Blue or Audio-Technica VM540ML?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynavector ASKA operates on a fundamentally different principle from moving magnet cartridges such as the Ortofon 2M Blue or the Audio-Technica VM540ML. MC cartridges like the ASKA use a lighter moving coil assembly rather than a heavier magnet, resulting in lower moving mass, faster transient response, and a more open and three-dimensional soundstage. The ASKA-H matches the 2M Blue and VM540ML for ease of connection, plugging directly into any MM phono input, while delivering the characteristic MC qualities of sharper image focus, greater low-level detail retrieval, and a more natural decay of sustained notes. The ASKA-L goes further for listeners with a compatible MC phono stage, offering the uncompromised version of that performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Dynavector's Softened Magnetism technology?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoftened Magnetism is a patented Dynavector technology that addresses the sonic trade-off inherent to neodymium magnets. Neodymium provides powerful magnetic force and high output, but its strong rare-earth field can introduce harshness and edginess into the upper frequencies. Dynavector's Softened Magnetism process modifies the magnetic field surrounding the neodymium motor to reduce this coloration, allowing the ASKA to benefit from the high output and clean channel separation of neodymium while delivering the smooth, natural treble response more commonly associated with alnico magnet designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich tonearms is the Dynavector ASKA compatible with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynavector ASKA is compatible with a wide range of tonearms commonly found on popular turntables. At 5.8 g with a compliance of 12 mm\/N, the ASKA suits medium-mass arms including the Rega RB series (as fitted to the Planar 1, 2, and 3), the Technics EPA series (as on the SL-1200 and SL-1210), and classic arms such as the SME 3009 and 3012. The integrated M2.5 threaded mounting holes simplify installation on headshells including standard Ortofon and Audio-Technica headshells. For very high-mass arms, a lighter counterweight or optional mass adjustment may be needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Dynavector ASKA-H connect to a standard MM phono input?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The ASKA-H is specifically designed to connect directly to a standard MM phono input at 47 kOhm. Dynavector's proprietary high-output coil winding technology winds ultra-fine wire many times around the coil bobbin to achieve a 2.8 mV output, equivalent to the output level of most moving magnet cartridges.
