SORAsound has now lowered its prices of ZYX Omega cartridges. The lowest price offered to certain loyal and long standing customers of ours is $1,380. This ($1,380) is in fact the lowest a ZYX Omega has cost me. So, there would be no profit for SORAsound but this is a good indication of our support to our customers.

There are those who have paid less than I have for ZYX Omega. These people are offering ZYX Omega cartridges at much higher prices than SORAsound prices. Obviously these sellers can beat SORAsound prices and easily replenish their inventory. If you have received an offer for ZYX Omega at lower prices than mine, and provide appropriate information, I will do my best to beat their offer.

The highest SORAsound now sells ZYX Omega is $2,295. This price is valid to our new (and real) customers as well. (note to those who pose as customers and are just fishing for information: please do not waste your time or ours. SORAsound is committed to its customers and we prefer to focus on them).

The retail prices of ZYX Omega Gold is still up to $8,300 in certain parts of the world.

You can still have a ZYX Omega or ZYX 4D for Free when you purchase a turntable and a tonearm for $7,995 or more.

ZYX Omega G: Retail price based on today’s exchange rate $2,400 to $8,300 (VAT and taxes excluded).

North American retail price for ZYX Omega G: now $6,500 but used to be $8,300 until around the end of Feb. 2010.

A few months ago, I wrote How Can They Justify the Difference Between $2,695 and $8,300? Guess what, euro is weaker now. So, the $2,695 is $2,400 today! And this is from a distributor who actually does have a dealer network. Look at all the people in the chain who make (and should make) a profit: ZYX, its suppliers, its global agent, Sibatech, its distributor, and its dealer.

Then why was ZYX Omega G $8,300 in North America until end of Feb. 2010 (now $6,500), and still appears to be $8,300 in some other countries? Read more…

Given SORAsound is now somewhat limited in advertising of ZYX products, and given my existing high level of inventory, I need your help and word of mouth in selling  ZYX cartridges and ZYX ARTisan Phono Stages.

SORAsound ZYX inventory is sold at great special prices. In fact, in some cases ZYX cartridges are offered for free. If you purchase a turntable and a tonearm from SORAsound at $7,995 or above, you get a ZYX Omega for free. What if you prefer to have a ZYX 4D or a ZYX Airy 3 instead? Sure. As you wish. But I’d rather get rid of ZYX Omegas first. Bear in mind that the ZYX Omega G which now retails at $6,500 used to retail $8,300 in North America as recently as around end of Feb. 2010. In fact, in some countries it still retails at $8,300.

So, you can have a turntable, a tonearm, and a ZYX Omega G from SORAsound for less than the retail price of the ZYX Omega cartridge in some countries! How could this be possible? Well, SORAsound is known to take care of its customers well. The lowest ZYX Omega has cost me is $1,380 but can be yours FREE!

So, I appreciate your help and the word of mouth generated in helping potential buyers coming to SORAsound for the best prices possible. As always SORAsound existing customers receive better pricing from SORAsound depending their past purchases. I have had some new customers contacting me to buy a ZYX Omega at my lowest offer of $1,495. Sorry, you need to be an existing SORAsound customer with a history to qualify for this price.

SORAsound ZYX customers who are concerned about the declining price of ZYX cartridges, please read about the very generous ZYX buy back and purchase credit programs that I established while ago and expect to be in effect till the end of 2010.

Please check out SORAsound advertisements on SORAsound.com, Audio Asylum, AudioXsell, PinkFishMedia, Audio Mart, and a few other places. I will soon be advertising on ebay as well. But our best venue for selling is the word of mouth by our loyal customers. Thanks for your support.

ZYX Omega: Cost me $1,380 to $2,000
ZYX Omega G Retail Prices:
North America – from around end of Feb. 2010: $6,500, before $8,300
Other countries - from $2,695 to $8,300
Yours FREE.

SORAsound is pleased to offer ZYX Omega cartridges to you for free when you purchase a turntable and tone-arm from SORAsound retailing $7,995 or more. What if you prefer to have a ZYX 4D instead? Just holler. I will accommodate you.

What if you only want to buy a ZYX Omega without purchasing a turntable or cartridge? That is fine too. Our prices are from $1,495 to $2,695. My existing customers qualify for more discount.

The lowest a ZYX Omega has cost me is $1,380. The most I have paid for a ZYX Omega including shipping and duties is $2,000. Obviously there are people for whom ZYX Omega costs less than my bottom line cost, in particular now that dollar seems to be getting stronger. These people can still theoretically beat SORAsound’s already low prices and make more profit than I do. Please do your research and see the best price you could get.  I do my best to beat any “valid” prices. Hopefully you will come to SORAsound for your purchase. SORAsound is still your best source for ZYX cartridges.

Hurry up while my inventory lasts. At this point, I have no interest in ordering more ZYX Omega cartridges.

This is a limited time offer, revokable at anytime. Certain conditions may apply. Please call for more details. Please bear in mind certain manufacturers do not allow us to discount their products. Please kindly read disclaimers in similar ads.

[May 18, 2010. You now also have a chance to get ZYX Omega or ZYX 4D for FREE. The lowest a ZYX Omega has cost me is $1,380. The highest I have paid for a ZYX Omega is $2,000. But you can have it for FREE. Check out the details.]

THE LONGER YOUR FRIENDSHIP WITH SORAsound, THE DEEPER YOUR DISCOUNT!
ZYX Omega:  $1,495 to $2,695
ZYX 4D:           $1,795 to $2,295

ZYX Omega: At this point, the lowest I am willing to sell a ZYX Omega is $1,495 for the Gold coil version. This is a very special price offered to a customer who has had a long standing relationship with SORAsound. Certain requirements apply to a sale at this price. There are others who pay  less than I have and want to charge you more. So, if you decide to get a ZYX Omega, please consider buying from SORAsound.

For most people, I would like to charge as much as $2,495 for this cartridge, at least for the time being unless there is no demand. It all depends on your past purchases with SORAsound. Let us assume you buy at $2,495. It is still well below half of North American retail prices which are now $6,500 (used to be $8,300 until late Feb. 2010).

ZYX Omega Copper: I have not heard ZYX Omega at all. But based on my experience with ZYX, the copper version should sound better. So, your price for this model will be $1,695 to $2,695. As low as $1,695 to an existing customer who has had a long trusting relationship with SORAsound, maybe less if this great individual catches me on a good day. As high as $2,695 to new customers, still well below half of the North American retail prices. Again, bear in mind that while I still make a profit at my prices (as I should), I have paid more for these units than some others pricing it much higher.

Please check out our other postings for SORAsound ZYX Omega promotions. It seems that ZYX Omega should be at the same level as ZYX FUJI mainly because many people may enjoy its dynamics but some would possibly prefer ZYX Fuji because of its neutrality, more realistic nature that audiophiles would appreciate.

Please also review all ZYX cartridge price comparison charts in the SPECIALS section of this website. Please make your initial serious offer via email with your full information. I will not sell to people within the industry unless they have had past business relationship with SORAsound.

Disclaimers: I have never listened to a ZYX Omega. SORAsound is not an authorized agent for ZYX. This posting is accurate as of the date of this posting. Anyone who sees any mistakes, omissions and such, please provide necessary input and your information using the comment button. It will be “printed” here.

Now, why does SORAsound have a stock of ZYX Omega? In all honesty, given Hisayoshi Nakatsuka san’s experience and past performance as a cartridge maker, I expected ZYX Omega to be very good and I was hoping to make a good profit. Unfortunately, people I trust most among audiophiles, did not like the cartridge and advised me against selling them. So, I have to be up-front with you regarding ZYX Omega. Again, please keep in mind that there are good reviews of this cartridge, and I am certain there are people who love this kind of sound. To those, SORAsound is your best source.

Please see ZYX Omega $2,600 to $3,250; and ZYX Omega Postings. Interesting how things change in a week! I am very keen on disposing my inventory and had to already lower prices.

ZYX 4D. I love ZYX ATMOS. So if ZYX 4D is still same (or “improved” version) of ZYX ATMOS, I highly recommend that to you. Your price $1,795 to $2,295.

[May 11, 2010. SORAsound now offers ZYX Omega for Free.]

Tags: ZYX 4d, ZYX cartridges, ZYX chats, zyx omega, ZYX prices

ZYX 4D, and ZYX Atmos Copper: $3,995.
Buy 2 pairs (2 of each, total 4 cartridges): $7,495. Yes, $3,500 more brings you one more pair. You can spend many nights comparing these fine cartridges and trying to figure out the difference, if any.

SORAsound is happy to offer these package prices to the curious among you. Normally the curious, like me, end up paying a lot more than they should. But you don’t have to.

You can now have both ZYX ATMOS and ZYX 4D phono cartridges at a package price of $3,995.00, lower than North American retail price for ZYX (as of this posting: $4,580)

A few months ago, postings by some ZYX agents appeared stating that ZYX ATMOS and 4D were different cartridges. A couple of them posted “ZYX ATMOS / ZYX 4D Facts” on their website, not knowing what they were talking about. It created a saga. See ZYX Atmos and ZYX 4D….Never Ending Saga.

Then a couple of weeks ago, the subject was revived again (see ZYX ATMOS and ZYX 4D ….. Mouth to Mouth Resuscitation). An audiophile posted his wish to see of a side by side listen of the two cartridges (paraphrasing).  SORAsound listened again. Well, here is a great opportunity to have a ZYX cartridge from when integrity was part of the deal, aside its younger, fresher, more questionable brother, 4D.

In the spirit of openness, before jumping on to buy this package from me, please know that ZYX ATMOS now sells in North America for $2,195. ZYX 4D retail prices (un-discounted) in some countries are listed below:

Before you waste your money anywhere else, call SORAsound. Yes, SORAsound still makes a lot of money, but our prices are much more reasonable.

New ZYX 4D for $2,295.00. Extra discount given to SORAsound existing customers depending on their past relation with SORAsound ($1,795 to $2,295).

Please check out our great sale for ZYX Omega.

Tags: sales, ZYX 4d, ZYX atmos, ZYX chats

SORAsound is pleased to offer you new ZYX Omega Gold and Copper (G and X) cartridges for $3,250. SORAsound existing customers pay as low as $2,600 depending on their past purchases. For details, please contact SORAsound (expect more discount on ZYX Omega Gold).

Although I do not necessarily recommend ZYX Omega, higher priority is given to my existing customers if they think this kind of sound is to their liking. Rather ironic.

North American retail price for ZYX Omega Gold until around the end of Feb. 2010 was $8,300 (about $800 over ZYX Omega Copper which at the time retailed for $7,500). Both Copper and Gold versions of ZYX Omega now retail for $6,500 in North America. Some places less, some places more. So as you see our price is half the new North American retail prices. This allows you to have a lot of “savings” while we also make plenty of profit. Considering my costs are higher than many who want to charge you more, this is a good opportunity to help each other if you are interested in buying a ZYX Omega. Win-Win.

SORAsound ZYX pricing also ensures that for the most part our existing customers pay the so called dealer prices for ZYX cartridges if they purchase from SORAsound. I was told while ago that ZYX Co’s global agent, Sibatech is giving extra discount to its North American distributor to compete better with SORAsound. I was also told that ZYX North American dealers get a 60% discount. If true, then dealer cost would be $2,600 (or 40% of $6,500) which equals SORAsound price to some of our customers. Given our focus on our existing customers, this approach also enables ZYX dealers to easily meet my prices, and still make sales and profit. Again, Win-Win.

Based on our past experience with other ZYX phono cartridges (Copper, Silver, and Gold), we prefer the copper version, hence I tend to be more willing to discount the gold version. Please check out appropriate disclaimers and further information by clicking on  ZYX Omega Copper on sale.

Please make sure you read all ZYX Omega postings before committing to purchase. There will be no refunds or trade ins after purchase.

A ZYX Omega Silver coil phono cartridge rated 10/10 said to have less than 40 hours of use was just sold for $2,430 on an Audiogon auction, by a ZYX dealer who just dropped the line. Is this indicative of the existing value of this cartridge?

SORAsound has put a lightly used ZYX Omega X copper cartridge on sale for $2,650 for its existing customers. Check out the details.

Tags: ZYX chats, zyx omega

ZYX Omega X. $2,950 for new customers
$2,650 for existing customers*
Sold as-is. Condition 10/10.

Less than 20 hours used by audiophiles whose ears, skills, judgement, and professionalism I trust. They disliked it too much to spend much time with it, hence the low hours.

As of this posting (April 7, 2010), North American retail price for ZYX Omega X is $6,500. Until around end of Feb. 2010 North American retail prices were $7,500 for copper, $7,850 for silver, and $8,300 for gold coil versions of ZYX Omega phono cartridges.

I honestly think some people may still like the sound (I have not heard it myself) of ZYX Omega. There are already some relatively good reviews of ZYX Omega. I have also heard of “good” reviews to be published soon. So, this may be a good chance for you to purchase.

If you have any questions, please either email me with your full information, or simply use the comment button here to ask your question (both question and answer published here).

It appears that ZYX Company offers better cartridges including R100 Fuji (sold out here) and Airy 3 ($1,895 at SORAsound). It will not surprise me that in a blind taste many true audiophiles, interested in accurately recreating recorded music will in all likelihood pick ZYX R100 Fuji and Airy 3 over ZYX Omega phono cartridges.

*My existing customers (those who have spent over $400 with SORAsound), can have this particular unit of  ZYX Omega cartridge for $2,650.

Disclaimers:

• SORAsound does not represent ZYX Co.
• SORAsound has great respect for Hisayoshi Nakatsuka san as a cartridge maker. However, based on feedback from audiophiles I highly respect, SORAsound does not recommend ZYX Omega phono cartridges. In fact, a couple of people have told me that I would jeopardize my status as a serious audiophile by selling this cartridge.
• I have not heard ZYX Omega myself. No need or interest.
