Has anyone heard of ZYX cartridge from Japan?

I own a Zyx R 1000 and a Miyabi.It depends on the phonostage to get the last Detail out. The main difference is, the Miyabi is the best I ever listened to and the Zyx is a very good cartridge.
The difference is in the Detail.The Miyabi is magic.NEVER heard anything which comes close to it.
The Zyx is a conventional design, it amplifies the music signal like all other cartridges do. Very good, very precise and very dynamic.
I like it, too.

I had a ZYX ( don't remember the model) in my system for about 4 months while I awaited delivery of a Miyabi. It was not top of the line, MSRP, if I recall correctly was around $700. It was quite good, good detail, low noisefloor, reasonable bass that was not quite as tight as some. Overall I'd say it was a somewhat warm and musical cartridge, certainly not forward in presentation. My most immediate comparison was to the $4K Miyabi, which is a tremendous cartridge. That notwithstanding, the ZYX was was surprisingly good, particularly at it's price point, and my overall impression was strongly favorable. Setup at that time was a Basis 2500, Graham 2.2 and Klyne series 7 phonostage.

Thanks for the info guys.

This is supposedly the same company that made the Monster Alpha series of cartridges that are pretty highly regarded. That's about all i know / have heard about them. Sean
