About the R50 Bloom 3
The ZYX R50 Bloom 3 is a low-output moving-coil phono cartridge in ZYX's R50 series, voiced for a highly refined, neutral and transparent presentation with strong detail retrieval and imaging. It uses a line-contact nude diamond stylus mounted on a black ALMg5 (aluminum) cantilever, and is designed to work effectively with a wide range of high-quality tonearms and turntables when matched to an appropriate phono stage. The cartridge's non-metallic body is intended to minimize eddy currents and external interference. The R50 Bloom 3 is positioned as an entry-level to mid-range model in ZYX's lineup and is suitable for audiophiles seeking a refined, musical analog experience. Research indicates this model may be discontinued.
