RE: Gallant_diva, UNIverse vs. A90
I Just replaced a UNIverse with an A90 after discovering my Zyx's stylus had vanished (literally).
My opinion is tempered a little by the fact that my Ortofon still only has about 50 hours on it. However, my system never sounded better than when I had an optimized, broken-in UNIverse mounted on my Kuzma Airline.
That may change as the A90 loosens up and/or I become familiar with its optimal tracking and VTA/SRA.
The A90 is still a wonderful cartridge!
