Yes, they pop up here & there but that's not the point. The point is what's they are worth after 30+ yrs,and if they'd hypothetically work in my situation of 3012R.Some people compare them to modern ZYX carts UNIverse and Airy(I've got one such a...

[quote user="Brian Clark"]Perhaps Zyx will come out with a mono cart one day soon since they are now fashionable.

This is the point, Paul: is it a self-propelled, self-ass-licking FR7 club or does this cart has any merit?Old vs. new, new vs. old...in the world of planned obsolescnce I do not know how to navigate.There is a myriad of models, but what they are wor...

That was very interesting romy. The SPU sound for me was always "woody", which isn't far from brown I guess, and ¨noble¨strikes me as well in the description (it really hits its stride on chamber orchestra or vocal recital for me). Shelter colo...

Just a few lines to the "Performance" of this piece of wood on strings for 7k $I listened to the Schroeder Reference + SQ and some custom made ones which were normally not available (Schroeder model blahblah with Valhalla cable etc.)(of course you ca...

RomyBy hearing the rest of the Shelter line you will eliminate that curiousity and may find the answer also. Methinks the Shelter line will increase in time and become as confusing as the ZYX state of affairs.Mr Hanekom may also have some answers to ...

[quote user="drdna"]I think that the perception of the Onyx depends on the rest of one's stereo system and the other components one compares it to.When I say the Koetsu is one of the top cartridges in the world, I would say this about most modern aud...

A good new Mahler 6? You should not tell me any longer. Is it the recording from “Zyx Records”?
http://www.amazon.com/Mahler-Symphony-No-6-Tragical/dp/B000025Y52/
Yep, the small budget labels can be a pain in ass but they also can care some really ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]In contrary to any other equipment I feel that cartridges are well benefited in comparative reviewing… The Cat[/quote]Good to read that you think positive about something :-)Unfortunately my experience is different, special...

This kind of freakish subject and the title of this thread is most likely is very misleading. Commonly the term “last something” is used as “best of the best” after which there is nothing else to explore. This definition grotesquely stink with heavy ...

...but whether it would be a better match to your speakers than the SPU who's to say.
I am planning an SPU Mono vs CG 25 comparison in my system in the fairly new future. Unlike your speakers mine could do with a little help in that area.
Maybe...

People who read me site know that I am a big admirer of older SME arms 3012/3009. Everything is great on them except they have no objective VTA scale. The new SME arm: M2-12/9 has a fixing bolt that allows dial-in and to maintaining VTA very accurate...

Stressing Bass in my former post I would like do not overly accent the lower bass itself but rather an organic combination of bass with something that I would call “full body” sound.
It we look at many properly setups, loaded and amplified cartridge...

[quote user="drdna"] The Decca London Reference appears ideal. I am probably going to buy one of these. Romy, you are free to borrow it if you wish to listen to it; just do not break it. [/quote]
Possible it is a good cartridge, I do not...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]1) High electrostatic or whatever other reason make the cartridge very prone to collect dust.
2) Exceedingly hard-reading with slightly overly prominent leading-edges of the phases. This demands VERY high quality...
