Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge

Thanks to all, and I was especially hoping Doug would respond. First of all, I cannot be right or wrong, because I was making no assertion; I was merely asking the question. Second, Doug is correct; I may have been thinking of the dual names given to the 4D and the Atmos.

But since SORAsound is the exclusive marketer of the UNIs in the US, it remains possible that the same cartridge is marketed in Japan (and Australia?) under a different name. If so, I wonder what that name may be. There is a ZYX cartridge for sale on eBay (from a Japan seller) that by looks and description certainly seems to be UNIverse-like. I will be visiting my son in Tokyo soon, and I was hoping to pick up the UNIverse equivalent. I think I want one, but I cannot pay the US price for the UNI2.

Albert, Could it be the Galaxy, or was that a 58 Ford?

Ldvalve, Do you know the alternative name for the UNI in Oz?

:^) or the Comet ?

I've owned the Airy 3, the 4D and the UNIverse. They all look very similar except for the labels. They have a similar house sonic signature, but do not sound the same.
Some manufacturers make every model look different, not ZYX.

Lew,

That cartridge is an Airy 3, not a UNIverse. The "G" stands for gold coils ("S" = silver, "X" = copper).

It looks like a UNIverse because the original UNIverse was the top model in ZYX's "Airy" family of cartridges, which also included the Airy 3, Airy 2 and R-100 Fuji (possibly others, I forget). All "Airy" cartridges used the same polycarbonate body. Except for the model name on the faceplate they are visually indistinguishable except upon very close inspection. (Example: the UNIverse has a sapphire backplate vs. a cheaper material for the lower models. This would be difficult to see in a photo and there's no other visible difference unless you can see different cantilever materials or the effects of cryoing.)

You can see pix of several ZYX cartridges here Needle Doctor ZYX page. Rows 4 and 5 include several Airy-family models, including an Airy 3G. Note the visual similarities...

One correction to Jmcgrogan2's post: the 4D/Atmos is quite different from the Airy family of cartridges. Its body is less substantial and wide open on the sides and bottom - a semi-nude design. This same body is used for the new UNIverse II. There are 4D pix on that Needle Doctor page if you want to see the difference.
