Dynavector of Japan was started in 1975 by Dr. Noboru Tominari. Unfortunately he passed away in 2002 robbing the world of one of the doyens of the audio industry. In establishing, what has become one of the finest and most respected makes of cartridge in the World, his designs have brought much pleasure and appreciation, of the fine art of music, to tens, if not, hundreds of thousands of music lovers worldwide. Since then, Dynavector has established a New Zealand design arm who have brought to the range a number of excellent products such as the Te Kaitora cartridge, P75 phono module and others.

Dynavector introduced to the world a number of innovations in its designs many of which elevate Dynavector into the highest bracket, for many, that of the manufacturer of the finest cartridge in the world bar none, the DRT XV1s. There are many more expensive cartridges on the market but to be nominated the best in the world by many aficionados says much. The only fact that says more is to experience its musicality, unforced presence and naturalness. This is in keeping with the Japanese way of viewing musical reproduction which is often at odds with the western one. We tend to focus on cerebrally judged parameters whereas the Japanese focus on the emotion and beauty of the musical performance. I don’t think I need venture who is on the right track.

When we first applied for the agency in 2003, Dynavector could not cope with the number of orders they were receiving and were not able to appoint any additional distributors. Later, after having doubled their production, they appointed us agents in Southern Africa for which we are grateful. The fact that we have never had a single faulty product nor dissatisfied customer, coupled with their excellent service, says more than mere words.
