Question on Soundsmith carts

I email Soundsmith and he was very honest.  Net new and not used, older higher end will squeeze more music out of newer lower end units.

Very refreshing to see a vendor to be so honest.  Case closed...

@kro77 , get the Voice!! It is a high output Sussurro. The only reason it is priced lower are marketing considerations. Peter told this to me himself.
The higher output gives you a much better signal to noise ration and more dynamics. The only cartridge Soundsmith makes that is substantially better is the Strain Gauge. 

@mijostyn, even more than the Hyperion and the catcus nonsense.

@kro77  Yup, all because of the higher output. Peter only makes low output cartridges to suit the market. He told me this himself. If people didn't want to use their expensive phono stages and were not fixated on low output cartridges he would not make them. Lower output has benefit for MC cartridges but absolutely none for MI cartridges. The coils and magnets are not part of the moving system. I did not ask him why he did not make a high output Hyperion. My guess is that the high output club would not pay that much for a cartridge.

Something to be said on knowing your audience, maybe the voice is the way to go instead.

Looking at the Weigh it is super low at 6.8 grams...

you gave me alot to think about here.  Really appreciate it.
