New Cartridge


I just made an impulse buy on a ZYX 100 ultimate low output (2.4).  Anyone have one or heard one?  And what did you think?

2.4 is really not that low IMHO. Usually a low output cartridge is around 0.6 or lower. But enjoy your new cartridge.

You mean 0,24mv (the low output version).

This a very fine cartridge, many years of enjoyment ahead.

 

Rare for someone to make a buy and THEN come here looking for opinions, but you did good.

Zyx is a Uber cart manufacturer of a nearly $20K cart.

The 100 is the 'impulse buy" @$2200.

This reviewer has one on a Rega P10 with not surprising, good results.

Enjoy it.

 

Well, in all honesty… he did say impulse buy. From reviews… sounds like a good impulse.

I have not heard the ZYX100.

I think, I wish I was someone who can let loose with $2200 on an impulse purchase.

Still not small change, but total cost was $1650.  I did read a recommendation on the R100.  But it is apparently discontinued.  And the 100 Ultimate is its replacement.  And thanks all for the comments, especially bringing that review to my attention.  Can’t wait to set it up when it arrives.  It will replace a Lyra Delos.
