Yes, Syntax, it's not an easy task...IMHO,
1) Aesthetically, Phase Tech P-1G is prettier vs ZYX Omega is a bit weird with a ball...To me, P-1G is one of the most prettiest MC carts. I need some more time to get used to a "ball".
2) Comparing companies, ZYX is an MC cart specialist having more experience in making various carts from entry level to top-notch designs vs Phase Tech is relatively green in making top-notch MC carts(Only P-1G is regarded as real high end carts). In this area, ZYX gives me more confidence.
3) Both P-1G and Omega belong to low output and low internal impedance design. Both should be used with my existing SUTs and tubed phono amp with no major sonic problems.
I have heard Phase Tech P-1G already. Before auditioning ZYX Omega, I have briefly heard a ZYX 4-D in another system, which was really good. Now I am planning to hear Omega in the near future and report my opinion and, if possible, draw my conclusion later.
Best regards
