ZYX Airy2-X-SB on Graham 2.2

Kurt,
If you talk to Mehran, I would ask specifically about the differences in silver vs. copper as well as 2 vs 3. Contrary to what is considered "general perceived wisdom" around here, Mehran instructed me that the silver versions would be warmer, fuller and more relaxed in sound than the copper. this is opposite of what I usually find with cables, but I took his advice and ordered a silver Airy3. Availability and pricing were equal for silver & copper, so that didn't come into play at all.
Everything is relative here...Cheers,
Spencer

Larry,I have a SOTA COSMOS series 3.I have been assured this motor problem will be taken care of to my satisfaction.In the meantime,my Levinson 390s will have to do,but,I do love my record collection.Lots of standard repertoire and some really unique,and different stuff(my speciality)that I've picked up over the years at Princeton Record Exchange,which has had a very poor vinyl inventory lately.As for the ZYX line,the fact that the distributor needs a direct phone call and there is no listed pricing(afterall,you own one,and,don't know the list?)sends up a red flag to me!Back to my COSMOS situation,for a moment.If the performance of the series 3 was not in a different "Universe" from the series 2,I'd probably really be agitated by now.However this table(although well reviewed)is really "SHOCKINGLY"in another league from my series 2,so,I'm anxious to get it back,and go to work on re-dialing in my 2.2 to the table's new "LOWER RESONANT" signature.Thanks for the well intentioned feedback!

Sirspeedy,

Lower your flag, Mehran is as honest as they come (more so) and very decent (to a fault) to do business with.
.
I got my Universe (the second one made) as a beta test, so I don't know the retail price nor the selling price. Don't let all the mystery bother you. If I knew what either the retail list or his selling price was, I would tell you. Send Mehran a simple email with your questions and I am sure you will get a detailed answer (quickly).
.
I hope your table returns soon.

Spencer,

What's your opinion of the Airy3? I was heading down the path of a Airy2 or Airy3 but Larry's comments about the UNIverse have me in a dilemma. Spend now or save for later (Enjoy now or really enjoy later?).

Cheers,

Kurt

Larry,

Sounds like I should wait for the UNIverse. Hopefully, it will come with a new listening room?! Then again, I may not be able to afford the UNIverse if I get my listening room. Maybe a Airy2 or Airy3 now is better than a Glider in the new house?

Decisions, decisions.

Kurt
