I heard the Soundsmith "strain gauge" cartridge at RMAF last year and I was blown away by the sound. It was one of the best cartridges I have ever heard in 30 years of being in this hobby (but it was also very expensive). Their moving iron cartridge "the voice" also sounded very good for much less money ($1650 I believe). I did not hear the one you mentioned, but they seem to make very good cartridges.
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?
