Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge

Somehow I have the idea that the "UNIverse" name for this cartridge was one of two or more other names that designate the exact same item, depending upon where in the world it was sold. In other words, it may have been marketed within Japan by another name. Is this correct? And if so, what is the name given to the UNIverse when sold in Japan? Thanks.

Jwm,

Is the new Basis arm the Super Arm 9? Do you know anything more about it than what is on the Basis site?

I have a Vector 3 on a Basis Debut (vacuum clamp, outboard motor controller) setup so that new arm, assuming it has the same geometry as the older arms would be an enticing drop in upgrade.

I have not done any kind of ripping of LPs to digital, although that has become a more intriguing possibility now that I have gotten most of my CDs on to a server. I have heard rips to analogue tape that were quite nice sounding, although I don't see myself ever going the route of less convenience.

I can see someone, for easy access to a collection, and perhaps, out of concern over record wear, might want to rip lps to a digital server. I am currently ripping my cds, but, I will not be doing that with records. I do have a newer belt and that did make a big difference for relatively small amount of money.
