Ever hear a Ruby?

It takes more than a ruby cantilever to make a moving coil cartridge capable of excellent sound reproduction. It takes imagination, engineering knowledge and dedication to perfection.

The Dynavector DV/Karat series is the culmination of these efforts:

Dr. Noboru Tominari, the creative genius and founder of Dynavector, developed a radical new technology taking into account wave dispersion and cantilever vibration theories.

Dr. Tominari reasons that the "soft" sound of most cartridges was due to the various delays of frequencies along the length of the cantilever.

The role of the cantilever as a sound dispersing medium has been mitigated by making it as short and as hard as possible.

As a result, a solid laser cut synthetic ruby cantilever only 2.5mm in length with a diamond contact tip is utilized.

Another benefit of the short/hard ruby cantilever is the high resonance frequency above 50 kHz. Therefore, the elimination of rubber damping.

Without the "creeping time effects of rubber" (temperature changes and age deterioration), the DV/Karat's ability to produce sound with stunning realism, brilliant tonal balance and exquisite detail is maintained over the life of the cartridge.

The truth is in the listening. Call or write for the name of a Dynavector audio specialist near you.
