ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews?


Dear listeners,
Any "early adopters"/owners of the new ZYX cartridges that now use carbon fiber (instead of boron) for their cantilevers? If yes, would you please share your impressions and/or comparisons?
Thanks and happy listening,

The premium series has been out since 2012, and there is also no user reviews also.

My guess is little change from the boron cantilever, or they no longer sell many.

ZYX has lost customers over the last several years.
Where are the user reviews of the premium series in the USA?

It has been out since 2012.

I do not know about the Asia market. I live in the USA.

The standard (old) ZYX Universe is long in the tooth, although was exclusive in USA. Why that was the case, I do not know.

Just recently Sora Sound was still dumping the old (5 yr+) cartridges.

Why did they have new leftovers, 5 years later, if they sold so well?
I like, and use ZYX also.
$15,000 for a cartridge.

No matter what anyone says about the quality, that is absurd!

I also never believe cartridge reviews as accurate, due to the fact very few know how to "fine tune" cartridge/arm setups. Too much sonic variability!
The reviews of the original UNIverse that cost $4995, said the exact same thing about the cartridge sound quality. It is perfect!

Where is the $10,000 difference with the Premium UNIverse?

In the pockets of ZYX, and Sora Sound!
