The ZYX have a design flaw that none has spoke about so far. The body is completely plastic and can not conduct static away from the cartridge through the tone arm. On very dry days, static drives me insane.Yes. I also agree that the ZYX is incredibly lenient with LP surface noise. My ZYX is out of phase by the way.
I have the Ruby 2 prevous to this Cosmos Airy 2S ZYX and miss the Ruby better rendition on any pop material. The ZYX is superb at Classical, Jazz can sometimes sound boring with the ZYX. The ZYX IMO also lacks PRAT or have no concept of it.
Just could not live with the ZYX alone. My cheque is in the mail for a new Ruby 3.
If you like pop more than other music, I would advise that you buy any Koetsu. I'll be also buying one (I hope) soon.
Cheers
