after years of avoidance, i am “forced” to attend a show…. well, on the bright side, it is not in vegas. SORAsound will be attending rocky mountain audio fest (RMAF) from oct. 19 to 21st. chris brady has been kind enough to host me. i will have ZYX, moerch, and zerodusts with me. i am actually pretty excited about it and sincerely look forward to meeting many of the friends i have made in cyberspace….so, if you are going there, please let me know so i can look you up.

ZYX R50 BLOOM was born for audiophiles with limited budget but champagne taste. why bloom? in all honesty, maybe i did not choose the most becoming name! i meant to indicate the blooming of a flower (i.e. entry level of ZYX phono cartridges line) and got carried away…after discontinuing R10, R20, and R30, we decided to have ZYX BLOOM (R50) as our entry level ZYX cartridge. i can not imagine you can ever find such a great separation of channels and neutrality for such a price.

ZYX ARTisan phono stage made by hisayoshi nakatsuka san of ZYX, CO. nakatsuka san asked SORAsound to be the first ZYX distributor to market his phono stage. ZYX ARTisan design is simple, yet clever – both inside and outside. it has inputs for both moving coil (MC) and moving magnet (MM) cartridges. you will not need to use the ZYX CPP-1 pre-preamp with ZYX ARTisan.
