Dynavector XX-2 MKII Cartridge 782 Hours Original Owner

Dynavector XX-2 MKII Cartridge 782 Hours Original Owner

For sale is my Dynavector XX-2 MKII Cartridge. Original owner. Purchased from an authorized dealer, Signature Sound (Rich Brkich), on November 13, 2013. I have put on 782 hrs on the cartridge since that time. It has remained on my VPI TT / Moerch Arm except when it went to Mike Pranka, US Distributor for Dynavector-USA on September 6, 2017 for a professional cleaning and inspection. It came back with a clean bill of health.

These cartridge routinely go for 1000 -1500 hours, so you are getting a $2000 cartridge with some usable life at a very nice price. If you have ever wondered about the sound of this cartridge this is your opportunity to try it out for a minimal outlay of cash.


If you are unfamiliar with this cartridge here are some of its specs:
Output Voltage: 0.28mV
Low compliance: 10x10-6 cm/dyne VTF: 1.8 - 2.2g
Line contact stylus tip
6mm solid boron cantilever
Recommended load: >30 ohms

Additional information:
This cartridge paired very nicely with my mid-mass Red Dot Moerch arm. I kept it at a light VTF of 1.83g and it never had problems tracking. Currently mounted on my Moerch arm as shown in pics.
I keep track of the hours using a click counter which I manually “click” one time for each side or partial side of any LP I play. When I say 782 hours you can be assured that that is a conservative representation of total hours that this cartridge has seen.

Included:
Original packaging. Original box, screws, stylus guard, instruction sheet. Please note that the Soundsmith screws shown in the photo of the mounted cartridge are not included.

Why am I selling? I simply do not listen to my analog front end thanks to the convenience of my digital kit. Therefore, I have reluctantly concluded that it is best to begin selling off my analog gear.

No tobacco household. No pets. No kids. 7/10 condition for rub marks and dust consistent with the Dynavector’s age and current usage. This cartridge has been well cared for.
