DV XV Prima

Phono Cartridge

The XV philosophy made whole. Every principle accumulated over decades, the open body, the 8 ALNICO magnets, the 4-part equaliser, the stable African Ebony and now the Special Annealing magnetic circuit, converges into one instrument of exceptional stability and musical integrity.

The soundstage is wide and naturally proportioned. Tonality is honest. The balance across the frequency spectrum is something you stop noticing because it simply sounds correct. The XV Prima is not a stepping stone. It is a destination.
