ZYX Premium Cartridges

Not a direct answer to your question, but I used the older Airy 3 for a year and was quite disappointed after all the hype. Yes they are detailed, neutral and track well, but I found it quite flat and unenvolving. I changed to a Benz LP and all the drive and dynamics were there again. Just my experience, other's may be quite different.

I guess nobody buys these new Premium cartridges!

ZYX has had a history continual improvements over the years.

SoraSound pushes their own ZYX Universe models, and not these new models.

Anyway, I love the Airy 3 silver and copper coil versions.

As usual arm matching and setup matters. YMMV!

Well, they haven't been out very long yet. Certainly look forward to impressions, because I love my 4D.

Agree with David12 on his assessment that the ZYX's are not the most dynamic cartridges on the market after living with an Airy 3 for years. Even the 4d/Atmos doesn't have the swagger of the Benz's, Lyra's or Ortofon Anna dynamically. I think of these as the thinking mans cartridge versus someone who wants to be swept away by the gestalt music.
