ZYX cartridge looking for advises


I did my homework already, was trying to get an answer on many Audiogon forum places, but still few things to clarify. I know how busy you are, would appreciate for helping.

I am looking to buy Airy 3, low output, copper coil, with SB.
Would VPI Classic or Airy with JMW10.5i be sufficient to handle this cart properly (I read that JMW 9 is considered as underachiever for this)?
Would it be “mandatory” to get VTA on the fly, I know you are a big fan of adjusting VTA for each disk/play?

How to be sure that cart is brand new and the blue ZYX securing tape was never removed and reinstalled back/glued or so, how do the original blue secure tape ends are connected together, any kind of thermal press or so?

I would appreciate for your comments.

There is a very good review on the SoraSound web site and if you have doubts about the provenance of a ZYX cart, check w Mehran @ SoraSound. He is a straight shooter and will give you an honest answer.
I second the SORAsound recommendation... I used the ZYX cart you are interested in on a VPI JMW10.5 for quite a while with good results.

If you haven't looked already there are many threads on the ZYX brand. Look for the reviews by Doug Deacon.
I know of the good reputation of Sorasound. I thought he had lost the Zyx distributorship, has he got it back?
Contact VPI concerning cart weight,,compatibility with arm .Mehran is an incredible human being.A pleasure to work with!
