Has anyone heard the Soundsmith cartridges?


There's been a lit of talk about the hand made Soundsmith cartridges. Is it truth or hype? Has anyone listen to them yet and how do they compare to other well known brands?
They say that the Soundsmith 103R-Ruby OC/CL ($729) is as good as a $3000 cartridge. Whats the scoop?

I heard the Strain Gauge and the Voice at Soundsmith's shop. The Strain Gauge is the best cartridge I have heard -- it does everything, but it's the dynamics that are most striking. The Voice is a hell of a good cartridge, too. I note that I was not familiar with the system I heard these cartridges through.

PS - Peter Ledermann and his partner, Craig Dick, are very professional and gracious.
