Doug Decan I think there is a new ZYX 4D cartridge

Dealer disclosures?

Bill,

You didn't address the 4D question, but thanks for clarifying that "the best I've heard" means "in my experience, budget, preferences and opinion".

I doubt Jwm could have worked that out, perhaps he'll thank you separately.

I did not mention any brand and/or model.

Had I done so, a disclosure would have been included.

Nice try.

Concerning my first post let me correct any misunderstanding as my wording was poor. The first paragraph should have read:

"Having owned two Universes, IMO there are a number of top flight cartridges that will meet or exceed it with regards to the timing issue Doug mentioned".

Sorry I was unclear.

I'm sure once you get up in that neighborhood (as R. DeNiro would say "A very respectable neighborhood"), I'm sure all TOTL Cartridges from Lyra, Benz, Koetsu, Dynavector, Transfiguration, etc, are all breathtaking, and offer truly impeccable sound to say the least, and as you say Bill, it ultimately comes down to personal taste, and system synergy.

Not wishing to steer this thread in a different direction, I still have a simple question in regards to some Cartridges, namely the ZYX.

I've probably read every post in this forum about Cartridges from A-Z, and I have read mention about some, (or all of ZYX Cartridges being "Phase Inverted"?
What exactly does this mean in layman's terms? I'm assuming it doesn't mean hooking Headshell Leads differently-incorrectly than how they supposed to be, but I'll let those who are more knowledgeable enlighten me. Thank you! Mark
