Great bass from a linear tracking arm?

...says that the key to great bass is not higher pressure but a light cartridge.

I use my Kuzma Air Line for a while now and I tried various cartridges with it. Mainly those, I know very well from Phantom or DaVinci and I am still learning.

The lightest Cartridge I have at the moment is the Zyx UNiverse and it works absolutely excellent on the Kuzma. I am really impressed, there is no big difference - or no loss - to the Phantom or DaVinci. Bass is great on classical records like Stokowski- Hungarian+Roumanian Rhapsody.
I would rate it as a real killer combo.

When I use the heavier ones, there is definately a change in performance. Don't know why (yet).

Thomasheisig,
I would imagine that the Kuzma/Universe combo is so good that it would be hard to go back to the Phantom or DaVinci?

I think my nude brinkmann emt is quite light and that was the cartridge I heard on the AT - it has no body after all. I am guessing it is 6g? What does the zyx universe weigh?

The Brinkmann EMT Titanium phono cartridge is 11 grams.
Maybe the one you were using was quite different than this?

The ZYX Airy 2 and Airy 3 are each 5.0 grams. I believe the Universe is either 5.0 or 5.5 grams.

The UNIverse I have has the SB, I think, it is around 9 gr. A friend uses a Zyx 100 in his Air Line and he told me, it is very good (he owns a UNIverse, too), also a Transfiguration.
I think, weight is one point, but probably the siffness from the needle bearing the other. I saw a few pics with the airline, fitted with Benz LP, Kuzma Cartr., Transfiguration, Lyra Titan etc. So I guess, weight alone is not the secrtet.
