Hi!

[Test Note] Check Empire 2000E/III on my setup
Zyx Airy III
The Zyx Airy III is hand built in Japan for the high end class. Its low 0.24 mV output requires a dedicated MC phono input or a step up transformer. The MicroLine stylus tracks from 1.7 to 3.0 g with 2.0 g nominal. The stylus is integrated, so a worn diamond calls for professional retipping.

Additional Info
The Zyx Airy III delivers a precise, highly resolved presentation built on a boron cantilever and a MicroLine tip. Micro-detail and imaging come exceptional, with tight, controlled bass and natural vocal texture, while dynamics stay quick and articulate rather than lush. Well-matched arms and phono stages get rewarded most. The stylus is integrated, so retipping is the only cure once worn.
