ZYX cartridge looking for advises

Thanks to all of you for your comments.
Yes, Mehran has ZYX back and I will buy Airy 3 from him.

The last few big question to clear up are the TNT selection.

Would it be really needed to have "VTA on the fly" adjusting capabilities on VPI turntable with 10.5?
I read that some audiophiles adjust VTA for each LP.

Would Acrylic platter be OK on VPI tables or an Aluminum would be desirable option?

I just want to spend my funds (dedicated to plunge in to vinyl world) wisely.

It doesn't hurt when you can adjust VTA. It is indeed very useful.
How much you will use it, will depend on the records you will listen to (50-60's or Reissues..). Happy listening with your Zyx. It is a good cartridge.

Rokokono/All,

Yes, if memory serves me correctly, the ZYX Airy 3 comes strapped in, as well as being screwed to the Base of the Case's Cartridge Bottom Mounting Plate.

The added little Blue Tape "Seatbelt" is no doubt there to safely retain the clip on Clear Acrylic Stylus Guard.

If it is Mehran you are buying the Cartridge from, rest assured that you are dealing with a first rate seller, and the main USA Distributor of the line.

The Cartridge will be brand new, and be assured that Mehran will stand behind you during, and after the sale, if in the event there are any problems. Be comfortable knowing that you are dealing with the best.

As a safeguard, be sure to leave that Stylus Guard on through the entire Mounting process. Once you have it mounted, are certain that all Cartridge Clip Leads are correctly in their right places, and the Cartridge is fairly snugged, and positioned-centrated on the Headshell, then at that point you can remove the Stylus Guard for Cartridge Alignment with a good Protractor.

Syntax, Markd51,
Wow, that is the information makes me feel comfortable buying, installing Airy 3!
Thanks a lot.

Yes, Mehran regained the US distributor rights for ZYX, which is undoubtedly good news for everyone associated with or interested in the ZYX brand.

cheers, jonathan
