ZYX Airy2-X-SB on Graham 2.2


I'm thinking of using this cartridge/arm combination. From everything I've read here this seems like a good match. What I'm not sure about is the SB option. From Doug's excellent review I understand this represents an integral silver hearshell weight. Does anyone know if the Airy2-X should have the SB option on a Graham 2.2?

Kurt,
I tried both versions of the AIRY3, and preferred the copper version. The silver can seduce by its ultra detail, but seemed unnatural to me, and brought attention to itself instead of the music. This on a Graham 2.2.
I had also a Benz Ruby2 before this, and it sounded broken compared to the ease, soundstage, trackeability and involvement of the Airy. I use a 100 ohm termination.
Makes the chasm between Digital/Analog even more profound.
