  1. I bought it from John Pattinson on Wigwam from whom I have bought and sold big ticket items several times. It only had 70 hours use but he needed to raise funds.
    A couple of years ago I had 4 turntables, 5 arms and a dozen cartridges but I am now downsizing my system and the Brinkmann arm I used with this is for sale as will be the Aurora VIDA phono stage I played it through. I tried it with my Tango and Kondo SUTs on various settings but always preferred it straight in to the MC input of the VIDA set at 120 ohms.
    I shall be looking for £2000 for it.

  2. Hello Clive,
    That is a very nice cartridge do you use an SUT for it? But can I ask did you buy it new, Why are you selling it and finally how much would you like for it?

  3. Hi Paul
    It's a Zyx Universe II X / SB2 which means it has copper coils and silver base. The output is 0.24mV which is measured at 3.54 cm/s, 1 kHz so it sounds a bit louder than you would expect for that output. I am sure you will be aware of the reviews, but Art Salvatore's on his High-end-Audio site describes it very well.
    The cart has about 150 hours of use on it. It is complete with box and manual.

  4. Hello Clive,
    I hope you do not mind me messaging you, But as I am looking for a cartridge and you indicated that you have a Zyx Universe available, I may be interested in it and wonder if you could give me some information on your cartridge and any photos of the stylus and cantilever?
    Regards
    Paul
