Erbacher Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) Item Condition: Excellent Shipping Options: Pickup available but audition is not available.,Shipping is available at agreed cost. Suburb or Town: Castlecrag State: New South Wales Payment Method: EFT, Cash on Pickup Reason for selling: System mismatch The ZYX R-50 Bloom is a wonderful sounding MC cartridge, majoring on smoothness and ease of presentation rather than clinical detail. See here for specs: http://www.zyx-audio.com/products_mc_r50_series_r50.html Review here: https://www.dagogo.com/zyx-bloom-low-output-moving-coil-phone-cartridge-review/ Purchased recently from a fellow stereonet member, I'm using his photos with permission as he did a better job than I could on these, beautiful condition and was tracked at less than 120 hours, I have probably added another 10 - 20 to it. Comes with original packaging and paperwork. To expand on reason for selling, whilst it is a fantastic sounding cart that I could easily live with, it is on the warm/smooth side and I realise now my setup (Rega RP8, Michell Technoarm, Lehmann BC, Rega Elicit, Monitor Audio Speakers) sits pretty heavily on that side of the spectrum already. There may be something technical there too in terms of compliance as I am still learning but it just didn't work to my tastes. It's in perfect condition and I was ultra careful with my handling. Would prefer pickup but could possibly ship as seems secure enough in packaging. Edited August 8, 2020 by Erbacher price reduction 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doppelganger Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I was the former owner of this cartridge. Anyone looking for a cart to counteract a forward sounding system or that avoids any hint of brightness, should jump on this. Beautiful sounding cart.
