I don't think you can go wrong with Soundsmith. I find some other cartridges do somethings exceptionally well but lack something in some other area.The best way I can describe the soundsmiths I use they do nothing wrong, and that's very important to me. Leave it on the table, wear it out, send it off, get a like new one. They always answer the phone willing to help, can't beat it.
Cartridge Recommendations
I have a Linn/Ekos with Rhea phono stage, feeding Maggies and Manley Mono blocks. My Shelter 90X has served me well but is nearing retirement............so looking to hear from the community regarding cartridges. I must confess having had Shure, Benz Micro, Audio Technica, and now what was the top of the line Shelter, I am increasingly intrigued with the Soundmith line, but any feedback/opinion would be appreciated............thank for taking the time to post.
