You need an excellent SUT to bring out the best in cartridges. I had a ZYX Universe II X and always considered it an okay cartridge (using w ARC Ref 2SE phonostage). However, when I got an EMIA Silver SUT, the ZYX turned out to be extra-ordinary - I couldn't believe how good it sounded. Again, depends on your phonostage/system, but I now mostly use SUT's w low impedance carts.
Cartridge "upgrade" to Dynavector XV1T
I think the XV1T is brilliant with all the tone and dynamism styles that I want
I want an upgrade that has the same but more (not an alternative "presentation")
Yes I know I should be satisfied ... and I am ... but ...... itchy ears that like to be scratched !
Have tried "buying to try" and not successfully in terms of finance and time and effort.
