Zyx cartridges and the new carbon fiber cantilevers...anyone heard?
Zyx have a new line of cartridges that are supposed to be a nice upgrade to their older models. I believe the main difference in the new line is the addition of carbon fiber cantilevers to all except the Ultimate Diamond ( which uses a diamond cantilever). I have not heard the new Zyx's, but some of my a'phile finds who have, seem to be very enamored of them!
One guy, who owns a Zyx Universe Premium, told me that he believes that the new Ultimate 4D is as good..at a fraction of the price...and that the new Ultimate with CF cantilever is even better! Anyone heard the new line? |

Thanks for that info. Makes me curious how cantilever construction and materials affect the sound of the cartridge versus say different wiring metal, number of coils, etc.
I kinda thought we were going to be seeing more high-end cartridges with diamond cantilevers. There is a diamond version of the Transfiguration Proteus and the Kuzma CAR-60 has a diamond cantilever. |
