The ZYX Ultimate Omega is a flagship moving coil cartridge designed for audiophiles seeking the highest levels of analog fidelity. It features a world-first C-1000 carbon cantilever, made from 1000 composite carbon fibers, offering superior rigidity and lightness for precise tracking and minimal resonance. The cartridge uses a micro-ridge solid diamond stylus for extended life and accurate groove tracing. Coil options include 6N crystal copper or gold-silver alloy, each delivering distinct sonic characteristics. The body is non-metallic to prevent eddy currents and external interference, and the cartridge employs a 'REAL STEREO' generator system for exceptional channel separation and balance. Cryogenic treatment of components further enhances performance.
