The Ear Editors Choice:
"Conclusion
As I mentioned, other arms were used during this review. As well as the Blackbird there was an SME 3012, Helius Aurum and an Avid Altus. The Zephyr is a consistent performer, and although there were some differences in the presentation as the arms were changed, essentially the Zephyr is very neutral, and will perform well as long as the set-up is done carefully.
I did try the 3012 quite a long way out of kilter just to see what would happen. Imaging suffered, as did some of the transparency, but the sonic character of the Zephyr (which is essentially neutral, perhaps very slightly cool) was unchanged. It conveyed sound quality exceptionally well, but overall was utterly engaging, and even my wife commented that it was one of the most natural-sounding cartridges I’ve had the opportunity to audition.
At its price point it’s a more than capable performer, and should be on everyone’s want list. The fact that the rebuild is relatively inexpensive is also something to bear in mind if the unthinkable happens and the cantilever or diamond get damaged. Sound for pound it has to be one of audio’s bargains, and given my experience is definitely on my hit list. Thoroughly recommended."
