Allnic Verito Z:Owners and those familiar

I installed my current model Verito Z over the weekend. Nobody should listen to a new cartridge until it has run in a few sides unless they enjoy suffering, but I did anyway, and suffer I did with some unusual wooly sound.
However, after about four sides, the Verito did a rapid ugly duckling to Swan transition, and although far from break in sounds very nice. With just a handful of hours it is easily competitive with my Clearaudio Harmon Mg, albeit my Harmony Mg is past 1500 hours from its Soundsmith ruby retip.
I have the Verito mounted on a Grandezza 10 inch arm with brass headshell. The recommendation is for effective mass of 16 g and above, and the Grandezza probably comes in at about 14 or 15g, but does not seem to be any kind of mismatch. The VTA is very slightly tiled upward at the tail but is very close to parallel with the cartridge body.
I am running a full Allnic preamplification chain with the Allnic head amp, H 3000 phono amp and L 5000 DHT preamp. With the Verito, I would call the sound "full flesh and blood with peyote buttons" and no, it is not just rock and roll because there is tons of internal detailing. I am entranced by some of my "heavy rotation" albums like Ginger Baker's "Middle Passage" and Miles Davis "Agharta".
I heard a demo in a dealer system over the weekend with the Air Tight PC-1(not supreme) and an ASR battery powered phono. That sound was more "audiophile x-ray" with lots of precision and detail but not much guts by comparison, but it was on a different system. The ASR/Air Tight was more of the "Jazz at the Pawnshop clinking glasses" type thing.
I am eager to hear what the Verito is going to do as it relaxes and settles in, it does not seem like it will be painful anyway.

I have 15+ hours and I am definitely getting some kickappoo "Wow" factor now. I feel fickle and faithless as I find my affection for my Clearaudio Harmony Mg fading.
I have the benefit of the full Allnic preamplification chain, which may offer particular synergies.
With the Verito, for the first time, I have been able to fully hear through the dense vocal and instrumental intermodulation of Oblivion Express' "Back to the Beginning". Whatever the Allnic products may offer in detail and dynamics, they never sacrifice rich tone, and the Vertio is consistent with that. I will write more as I get more hours on the cartridge.

I have rounded the corner at about 100 hours.

Observations: So far the best cartridge I have had in my system, eclipsing the Clearaudio Harmony Mg. The Harmony Mg was Clearaudio's second from top of the line a few years ago, I have listened to the Harmony Mg with both the original boron cantilever and the Soundsmith Ruby retip, which increased detail in the Harmony Mg.

Break In: Requires a lot. The full output does not seem to settle in until after 50 hours or so. I started out with the preamp from 1PM to 2:15PM at first, gradually going down to currently 11AM to 12:15PM. This may indicate a suspension that requires a lot of use before full settling.

Detail: Enormous amount of detail, more than the Harmony Mg. I wondered about the aluminum cantilever, but without just cause, the Verito Z manages to recover more raw detail than either the boron or ruby retip on the Harmony Mg.

Compliance: The Verito Z seems to be an excellent match with my tone arm/ table. I think my Da Vinci 10 inch arm just makes the effective mass cut of about 16g for the low compliance cantilever, but the Verito might do even better with higher effective mass arms.

Dynamics: Opened up a lot from 30 to 60 hours and still seem to be opening up a bit with larger, more relaxed sound scape.

Midrange: This is where the Verito Z builds from and shines, an incredibly dense, layered detailed midrange. The Verito Z locks on to the beating heart of the midrange and doesn't let go. The Harmony Mg was excellent in this regard as well, but not nearly as good as the Verito Z.

Bass: Deep and resolute, excellent texture and solidity

High Frequencies: Very well balanced with the midrange, nice density like the midrange with lovely shimmer and overtones.

Overall, the Verito Z extends the impression I had when reviewing the Allnic head amp H2500 that the Allnic chain makes vinyl sound much more like the high quality reel to reel tapes I have heard in sound image, density, color and power. This seems to be a good direction to go since the analog tradition is based on high quality studio tapes.
