Dynavector DV-20X2A Cartridge Exchange

The Dynavector DV-20X2A Cartridge Exchange lets you trade in your worn or damaged DV-20X2A and take $381 off a brand-new one. The cartridge is the only part of your system that genuinely wears out: a diamond riding a groove until it starts to tell on itself. A dull stylus, a worn suspension, a cantilever that lost a fight with tiny hands or a rambunctious cat. When yours is spent, you shouldn't have to pay full price to hear your records again. Send back the old DV-20X2A and a factory-fresh one comes the other way, same model, $381 less. Not a retip, not a rebuild.

How it works

1. Buy this trade-in. Pick your packaging option above.
2. Mail your old DV-20X2A to our Chestertown showroom (or drop it off in person).
3. In around a week your brand-new DV-20X2A ships to you.

Want to trade up instead?

If you'd rather move to a different Dynavector than replace the one you have, contact Mike and he'll work it out with you. The credit depends on your cartridge and the model you want.

Two ways to handle the packaging

I'll provide my own packaging. Package the cartridge well, use the original box if you still have it, then ship it to our Chestertown showroom.

Listening Room Packaging at $19.95. We'll ship you a box with a prepaid return label inside. Open it, follow the instructions for safely packaging your cartridge, then drop the box at any USPS location.

What qualifies as a trade-in

Any worn or damaged Dynavector DV-20X2A. A worn-out diamond, worn suspension, bent cantilever, snapped stylus, cosmetic damage. It doesn't have to be broken. Even a good cartridge that's simply run its hours qualifies. The trade-in is same-model only, a DV-20X2A for a DV-20X2A. Want to move up the Dynavector line with your trade-in? Contact Mike and he'll work out a deal with you.

Why this program exists

Most people buying a cartridge are replacing one that's worn or broken, not chasing an upgrade. This trade-in is built for them. Instead of paying full retail on your next DV-20X2A, send the old one back and get a brand-new one at over 25% off. Full warranty, same as buying new. The program runs all the way up the Dynavector line to the Te Kaitora Rua.
