| Arm & cartridge combo for Basis Debut ? I didn't follow the pricing for 2.2. Versions, but I think, they are in the 1.5k$ area. I switched from 2.2 to Triplanar VII and from that back to Graham (Phantom).Your Zyx has a big advantage, it is not critical/sensitive to Arms. When you like i... | |

| ZYX R-1000 Series Omega-S [/quote]syntax and any one else who has auditioned both cartridges what differences between UNIverse and omega you are hearing.[/quote]I think, they have not much in common. I listened carefully and I prefer the UNIverse. | |
