ZYX

A superb low output moving coil cartridge that delivers an amazing performance at £500. In Origin Live arms this would be one of our top recommendations at this price point. 

Regarded as one, if not the top cartridge manufacturers in the world, ZYX (pronounced "zikks") is now establishing itself in the UK.

"The natural detail and extension is almost startling after years of living with Benzes and Koetsus and Clearaudios and Shelters and van Den Huls and whatevers. This is one major area that drives vinyl lovers to change cartridges to find that ideal balance between enjoying fine detail and life-like resolution, but without any artificial harshness and glare". read more

The ZYX Ultimate series (100, Airy, 4D, OMEGA and DYNAMIC) use a carbon cantilever for the very first time in a moving coil cartridge. The carbon rod is made from 1000 pieces of composite carbon fiber, hence the name C-1000 carbon cantilever.
