DV XV Ultima

Phono Cartridge

Built on the same Special Annealing foundation as the Prima, but asking, "How far can this go?"

Research-grade ultra-high-purity iron responds to magnetic flux with minimum distortion. Ultra-fine coil on a precision cross-cut armature brings moving mass to its absolute minimum.

Quieter between the notes. More present within them. No compromise on material, no concession to cost. The XV Ultima is for the listener who has heard everything and is still looking.
