Never have I heard a cartridge sound so unstrained when unraveling complex musical passages. Even when many different instruments are all playing at once with each competing for attention, the 4D-G remains composed and delivers each instrument with unprecedented vividness and authenticity.&#8221; &#8211; Frank Alles, Stereotimes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><!--more--><\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If you want to hear one of the very best cartridges available today, you must audition the Zyx UNIverse [ZYX 4D].&#8221; &#8211; 10Audio<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;In the right system, it [ZYX Airy3] is one of the most accurate and musical cartridges in our audio world today.
