ZYX Airy 3

Just picked up an Airy 3 for my ever growing office system. I must say for the money it's amazing, and may take the biscuit for the best under £2000. Got it in Berlin the other day. I already own a Universe and this thing comes very close... very very close. WOW! Highly recommended.

 

Hi Rob, I'd love to hear a Zyx, don't they have crystal bodies?
I bought a Dynavector 20X L the other day for the princely sum of £230, this really sings, stunning for the cash. Considering my other cart was a Clearaudio Accurate at £2800 that I can't afford to retip - thats a bit of a bargain! - at least the musics still playing. I do in general find that dumping a load of money on a cart or turntable is reflected in the return sonically, although I seem to have a weak spot for Dynavectors! Carts at the high end are truly holographic when it comes to presentation.

 

Surely a retip from ES must cost approx the same price as the 20XL?

I have no idea who does ZYX in the UK. Most UK dealers have Dynavector, Lyra, transfig, Benz..
I have Shelters, ZYX, German spec Ortofon and a few others in my cartridge draw as well as a XV1s. which is waiting for a turntable.

 

I got quoted something silly like £800

(maybe someone saw me coming)
