ZYX UNIverse X-SB 0.24 sounding "too much"


Hello everyone.

Recently acquired UNIverse x-sb 0.24 and using it on a Naitais Lenco L75 + Ringmat Anniversary with SME3012R arm and it sounds "too much". Comparing to the XV1s (tracking at 2.10), it sounds "too much", female vocals are too much. Another way to put it is too dynamic(?). It's doesn't sound worse than the XV1s, but very very different. Currently tracking at 1.95 or there abouts. Any ideas? Adjustment, tweak issue or loading, or tracking angle?

Rest of vinyl front end is Audio Note M7 with Bent MU 1:20 Silver transformers. Universe loaded to about 110 ohms. XV1s run on open load 125 ohms.

Regards,
David

Those loads on a SUT input?!?!

100 ohms sounds about right for both cartridges, but not with a SUT.
My ZYX R100 loads at 100ohms and tracks best at 2gms. Also, my arm is even or just a bit lower in the back on most LPs. I have found Ringmat TT mats to bring out a brightness (or extra dynamic) on turntables I've used in the past. Now I use only Herbie's mats.
My Zyx is the most powerful sounding cartridge I've ever had. You might just have to live with it.
