ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews?

Hi Lew,
This is from the Sound-smith website re: strain gauge -- "All other cartridges are all magnetic generating systems, which require a mass to be constantly moved to generate a voltage. The Strain Gauge does not; the effective moving mass has been reduced by over 80%....allowing the stylus to stay in intimate contact with the groove walls.....and allowing the stylus to stop jittering - or "bouncing" in the groove as it now is not trying to move a "large" mass back and forth...."
This may explain the reduced "wear and tear" on stylus and cantilever.

I've posted some brief initial comments concerning the Zyx Ultimate 100H on the HifiWigwam site. The post is based on just a few hrs of playing time with the new cartridge, so will no doubt need updating, but "out of the box" the Ultimate 100H compares well to my older Zyx Airy 2 SB/X cartridge.

Thank you for sharing your first impressions.

Hello,
this is my first post on Audiogon and i would like to share my experience with Zyx cartridges.
I have owned a Yatra MKII for 10 years, the suspension went off before stylus wear-common, then upgraded to 4D Ultimate SB and i was amazed of how quiet it is (CF cantilever) with plenty of lifelike images, amazing bass, stereo, and excellent tracking. I believe that CF cantilever having a lower mass tracks better and has no ringing effects. Of course perfect alignment is mandatory for this is not a forgiving cartridge. Partnered with SME V and DPS 3.

Old thread but still interesting I believe.
I own both an Ultimate 4D X /TB and Ultimate 100 / TB . 
Before them I had a Yatra SB and for a short time an Airy 3 TB.
I just want to add my findings with both the Ultimate cartridges, by saying that both have a warmer, richer sound than the previous I had. No overdamping anywhere , the contrary I'd say. I don't know if the carbon cantilever does something bad, I just don't detect it in my system. It is my opinion that cantilevers must be light ,not flex and not have any resonances of their own. The carbon is much lighter than boron and perhaps stiffer too. So, at least it looks like a good/better material for a cantilever.I also believe that ZYX must have done the necessary changes to the suspension damper to work well with the new cantilever. Overall for me it works superbly, without any brightness or ringing. In fact it is my opinion that the Ultimate 100 TB sounds better than my previous AIRY 3 TB,and definitely superior to the Yatra SB.
