Dynavector - Te Kaitora Rua LOMC Titanium Head Cartridge

The original Te Kaitora cartridge the result of a collaboration between Dynavector Japan and Dynavector New Zealand embarked analogue enthusiasts worldwide on a voyage of discovery to the outer extremities of vinyl reproduction.

Te Kaitora Rua (Discoverer Two) continues to scale these heights by incorporating many of the features of its Dynavector stablemates XV-1s and XX-2 yet retaining its original silk like treble and openness.

Features:

1. 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.
2. A titanium headpiece for maximum ridgity along with a miniature stainless steel bolt coupling the front and rear yokes to the magnetic circuit assembly.
3. A 6mm long boron cantilever with the Pathfinder (PF) line contact stylus as used with both Dynavector XV-1s and XX-2.
4. The ingenious square shaped armature and matching square shaped aperture in the front yoke providing much improved linearity in the magnetic flux distribution.
5. Alnico magnets are used for high magnetic flux density.
6. The wait is over after years of Te Kaitora bliss the evolutionary Te Kaitora Rua invites you to embark and once again experience the unique.
