Handcrafted in Japan to uncompromising high-end standards, the Dynavector ASKA serves as the perfect entry point to moving coil (MC) playback. Combining patented magnetic circuit engineering with user-friendly features, it delivers an open, natural, and remarkably low-distortion soundstage that brings vinyl records to life.

Key Features

• Japanese Handcrafted Precision: Built, heat-treated, assembled, and individually tested in Japan to match Dynavector’s flagship standards.
• Special Annealed Pure Iron Magnetic Circuit: Enhances magnetic purity for lower distortion, higher resolution, and expansive sound dynamics.
• Patented Softened Magnet Technology: Combines high-power neodymium magnets with magnetic field softening to eliminate harshness while maintaining exceptional signal separation.

Two Output Options:

• ASKA-H (High Output, 2.8mV): Plugs directly into standard MM phono inputs without requiring a step-up transformer or head amp.
• ASKA-L (Low Output, 0.3mV): Delivers classic, uncompromised MC performance for step-up transformer and MC preamp setups.

Elliptical Stylus Profile: Tracks high-frequency detail accurately while remaining forgiving and easy to align across various tonearm setups.

Threaded M2.5 Body: Direct-threaded mounting holes eliminate loose nuts, making cartridge installation straightforward and secure.

Ethernet cables don’t normally use high quality silver-plated conductors, high speed insulation and high density shielding.  Neither do they use our unique Tuned ARAY conductor geometry.  Chord Epic streaming cable has been designed to get the best and most coherent sound from any decent audio streamer.
