ZYX 'Real Stereo' and Miyajima 'Cross Ring' Cartridges

Nakatsuka San started to build superior top stereo cartridges long time ago and since the days of his vintage Moster Cable MC cartridges and ADC TRX MI (just to name a few) later he patented some new things for his own ZYX design (clearly explained in the zyx manuals) and now we have premium line of ZYX (i've owned Zyx Premium 4D).

@cousinbillyl  it is nice that you have moth Zyx and Kansui, it is probably two different concepts of sound, how do you with with both of them ? I mean it's really interesting subject. Could you tell us which tonearms do you normally use for them and which of these cartridges do you use more often? Aftex my ZyX experience i was thinking about Kansui myself, but never tried it yet. If you're a ZYX user it would be nice to know your opinion (about Miyajima Kansui). Thanks    

@cousinbillyl thanks, i know what you mean by addictive warmth, i feel the same with my garrott p77 right now.

Which Koetsu (Black or Rosewood) sounds like Kansui?

Few more unique cartridges to add to the sybject:

First one is new Allnic Puritas:

ALLNIC PURITAS (MC) cartridge is designed to reproduce music via a mechanism that emulates the LP cutting lathe’s cutter head. the Puritas has two separate hollow polycarbonate bobbins, as opposed to one bobbindesigned as an iron square or cross-block. Iron is about nine times heavier than poly carbonate, so a conventional iron bobbin reacts with far less agility to the musical grooves of a vinyl record than one made of hollow polycarbonate. As a cantilever moves along the vinyl’s grooves,
it needs a pivot. Conventional MC cartridges’ coils are located near the pivot because of their heavy moving mass. Because of its lighter moving mass, relative to conventional MC cartridges, the Allnic Puritas’s coils are nearer to the diamond stylus.

Second is vintage JVC DIRECT-COUPLE PHONO CARTRIDGE (they’re actually made several models with this unique technology), top of the line was Victor (JVC) MC-L1000 MC Cartridge with micro-coil sitting right-on-top of the stylus !

Universe must be really good for it's cost for sure.
Most people talking about Universe when it comes to ZYX but what about some other premium models such as new 4D (no reviews yet).
 
Price tag of the Universe is not for everyone, especially when it comes to retip :(
