About the Exceed Bloom
The ZYX R50 Exceed Bloom is a low-output moving-coil phono cartridge and the entry model in ZYX’s Exceed series. It uses ZYX’s “REAL STEREO” generator system, a line-contact diamond stylus, and an aluminum cantilever. The standard version has a 0.24 mV output, while a high-output 0.48 mV version is also offered. It should be distinguished from the earlier ZYX R50 Bloom3, which is a related but separate model.
