questions on zyx airy 1000


Hello from France, i have a lenco l75 on a big plinth with high end bearing... OL conqueror mkII and levinson mlc-1 cartridge retipping by VDH)
I am thinking of buying a zyx airy 1000 as i have heard good thinks about it and it works well with my arm.I listen mainly classical music, lyric,choir...My main concern is with multi mics recording of the seventies.I have 38 boxes of the 45 of bach cantatas by Harnoncourt (telefunken),and i heard them with a stradivari cartridge on a high end system.On the soloists it was wonderfull but on the choral with people singing alone,together,then separatly...It was awfull ;it was far better at home (but not for the soloists). With the stradivari you can't follow the choral.
So my question is how the zyx is going to sound on chorals,and have you others ideas for a cartridge.

I did use a Zyx 1000 for some years. A very good cartridge, voices are very natural and lifelike. Are they still in Production?
Gilles,

I own (and love) all 45 boxes of Harnoncourt's Bach cantatas. I played them with my Airy 3 before upgrading to UNIverse and (just in the last month) UNIverse II.

ZYX cartridges are better than most at keeping choral and orchestral voices separate and clean. If you can afford the 4D it's even better, but the Airy 3 is quite good. Well worth the investment in my experience.

Read the reviews beneath my signature for more details and musical impressions.
Thanks a lot for the answers. Doug do you think that on the bach cantatas with an airy 3 you can enjoy listening to the different tracks without feeling that each track is revealed on a separate entity.
Thanks in advance.
Doug, the 4D was suppose to please rock and rollers. I hope the UNI II does not have this characteristic.
