New ZYX Premium cartridge line

I just upgraded to the Premium from a Uni-II, it is better in every way over the UII, but the UII was fantastic cartridge.

The premium is hands down the best cartridge I have ever heard or owned. Mounted on a DP-8 Morch, on a Micro Seiki RX1500, running into Hashimoto 3 SUT, into a custom built tube hybrid phone pre, played back through Wilson Sophia 1 speakers. Really amazing sound, detail, stage width and depth. Bravo.

The premium ZYX line has been out since 9/2013, and there has been close to zero buyer chatter on the internet about them.

The older non-premium versions by ZYX must be better!

All ZYX carts do great soundstage, air, seperation, bass and speed. I am yet to hear one which has the midrange presence and palpability to match. I have seldom read or heard a ZYX owner talking about how good the mids are, just an indication!

The ZYX cartridges with silver coils have a "magic" midrange IMO.

YMMV

Feel free to read my ZYX reviews/comments and learn differently. I've often described their reproduction of vocals as putting the singer(s) in the same room with the listener. That's "palpable" enough for me.
