any opionions on the zxy r50?


Has anyone listened to this? How does it compare to carts in the same price range?

I've owned the R50H Bloom for a year or so now, and keep coming back to it. I've used a Shure V15Vxmr, and Empire EDR.9, and a Denon 103R. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, but the Zyx gives great detail without harshness, plenty of bass extension, and is really quiet in the groove. Now that it's well broken in I run it at the low end of its VTF range, right at 1.8 gr. I'm using it on a Rega RB250 with a Michell counterweight and Pete Riggle's VTAF.

The added bonus is dealing with Mehran at Sorasound - he's a prince of a fellow.
