Shelter and Triplanar matching ?
I think, it is difficult to say, this or that Arm Design is definite. The Linear Arms improved the last years, specially with the Kuzma Air Line, but there still is some side force into the needle bearing, in my opinion more than with a good Arm l... 
Review: ZYX UNIverse-X-SB Cartridge
Hi Doug, got the Zyx UNIverse and you are right. It sounds very impressing right out of the box. I "cheated" a little bit with the "burn in" time, I did use the AT 637 for some time, but I think, it will increase performance still.Anyway, I listen...

Basis Vector 3 vs. Schröder, Triplanar, Graham

@Tubes 108. True. 
Basis Vector 3 vs. Schröder, Triplanar, Graham
I think, the answers will vary, the Vector arm has not the "Hype" other Arm are having. From what I heard ( not personally, but from people, who know their stuff ), it is a real interesting Arm. I am not mad about the Schroeders, some others are, ...
