ZYX Ultimate Dynamic cartridge

ZYX copper was much better than ZYX silver coil when I tried both. 

Hi chakster!
I wonder if gold coil wire is available ?

Thanks,

Airy 3 and Premium 4D are two models I used it the past. Also ZYX CPP-1 headamp with its special zyx resistor made with the same copper coil wire used in the cartridge coil. 

No experience with Dynamic, but i am using the 4D Ultimate SB2 H, copper version and before that i had the Yatra 2 H copper version also. Seems that the copper version is the most popular for Zyx cartridges. Ultimate series is an upgrade to the previous range, has a quiter ride for a start, is more organic, has a fine frequency balance, voices sound clearer with even less sibilance, and shines when the music gets more complex. These observations come from having heard the U100, U Airy and compared to previous 100, Fuji and Airy. But as i understand these changes do not come alone from the CF cantilever, but from additional ones in the internal structure of the cartridge.

The Clearaudio MC's use gold coils and they are excellent cartridges. The Da Vinci V2 is the sweet spot in the line. Very detailed and dynamic cartridge for a moving coil. IMHO the Charisma is the most dynamic cartridge they make but it is MM. It is very detailed but the overall presentation is a little darker than their MC cartridges. 
I have no opinion on Zyx cartridges. Never used one.

There was a Zyx cartridge with gold coil too. 

Now in range U Astro, U Diamond, U Omega, U 4D, U Airy can come with gold coils but not U Dynamic.

I wonder why 🧐
Thanks petg60

This is from their official website, but i believe you know it already,

We at ZYX have designed many cartridges in our history. However, the Ultimate DYNAMIC design is the first model which incorporates a magnetic circuit that is very different from previous models.
As the coil bobbin is a non magnetic material, the signal output is only 1/6 of the required level. For this reason we have to use bigger magnet and have three times more windings on the coil in order to obtain the correct level of signal.
The reason for designing the Ultimate DYNAMIC model is that the non magnetic coil bobbin is similar to that of the cutter head on a record cutting machine.
This cantilever is of course a C-1000 carbon cantilever and the non magnetic bobbin is also made of a rigid and light composite carbon fiber plate.
When listening to the Ultimate DYNAMIC models, you will be lost for words to describe the superb sound quality.

I can understand that this is a very interesting cartridge.

" you will be lost for words " ........hmmm 🧐
Think I'll have to wait for a somewhat "reliable" review, if there ever be some.
Thanks,

Since a low output version Universe, of which I own one, has an output of 0.24mV at standard stylus velocity, I have to wonder what is the output of these Ultimate series cartridges.  Does anyone know?  I also own an Ortofon MC2000 that only makes .05mV.  Surely no cartridge can go lower than that and still be marketable.

The same, 0,24mv and 0.48mv, low amd high output respectively.
But these are measured at 3,54cm/sec and not with the standard 5cm/sec. If at standard the output approx. should be 0,34mv for the low output and 0,69mv for the high output.

Petg60-ahhh, that’s why my Airy 3 seems higher than the 0.48mV . Thanks
