Goodbye ZYX Airy 3
Don, the ORIGINAL zyx cartridge is the one with REAL serial number. I know what i'm talking about as i bought Zyx from Juki few years ago and it was fake serial, different manual and box without serial numbers (where should be serial numbers print...

Hey C, this minus K looks massive.http://www.minusk.com/content/in-the-news/TheSci_0907.html#indexisolator 
Goodbye ZYX Airy 3
Anyone can explain how this grey market works? Juki always hide serial numbers on ebay and it fact when you got the products from him the stated serial number is fake even on actual cartridge. Manipulation with serials, manuals, boxes ... etc ... ...

Well Geoffkait, if you experienced with hemorrhoid cushions you can start your own thread. We're talking about plinth here, sorry 
Yuour cartridge for Reed 3P "12 Cocobolo
Marco, it's stated everywhere that ZYX distributors and Nakatsuka-San support only models with real serial numbers (no support for grey market products like those from ebay in hong kong). If you have cartridges from official ZYX distributors they ... 
SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth
Geoffkait, that's interesting point. Anyway those sarbothane pads are cheap as cheeps and easy to remove. The main question is still the actual plinth for SP10. Someone like Raul use his SP10 in "naked fashion" and swear it's better. I never tried... 
Yuour cartridge for Reed 3P "12 Cocobolo
Cheers MarcoHmm, i always thought Silver Base is an improvement (not just additional weight). My previous model of ZYX was Airy-3 without silver base. My next model was 4D Premium with Silver Base 2 (i don't have it now, shipped for service to Jap... 
Goodbye ZYX Airy 3
Oops, i meant Zyx CPP-1 Pre-pre + WLM Phonata Phono Stage (Minueta is my AMP). 
Goodbye ZYX Airy 3
I have upgraded my grey market ZYX Airy silver coil (from Juki) to official Premium ZYX 4D SB2 copper once. Those models are different. I have been used Airy-3 on EPA-100 with stock headshell of EPA tonearm with silver Van Ned Hul silver headshell...

Just swapped my Audio-Technica ART-2000 with vintage Argent MC500HS on Reed 3p and love the sound even better. It's something special about this very rare and almost unknown cartridge. I've been using Argent MC on Thomas Schick "12 and it was real...

Mr. Deacon it's alwasy nice to read your posts, you're right, forgive my english, i just tried to say that my stand is Heavy and Stable. "Well damped" was incorrect word. It was not specially designed, just a custom build heavy big metal stand wit... 
SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth
Lewm, any mods outside of my country is impossible for me, shipping cost too much. I can only do it here (such as recaps etc), but now all original sp10mk2 just works fine and i already find local vendor for recap work in the future if needed. Act...

Ninetynine, it looks nice. The shape of "headshell" on my reed is different, it's not removable from the armwand, probably earlier version, looks more like Da Vinci than current round shaped reed shell. That's interesting, i'll check for EMT. 
SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth
Chris, your Garrard plinth is amazing and i love it pretty much, this design is one of my favorite aesthetically , but it's a different shape and not for SP10 unfortunately (and SP10 is totally different design itself). So don't get me wrong and t... 
Audio Technica ART9 cartridge
I love my limited edition Audio-Technica ART-2000 cartridge, 1000 units made for Japanese market in year 2000 as AT reference cartridge. In my system it sounds amazing with ZYX CPP-1 headamp to MM input on my WLM Phonata reference phono stage. For...
