In 2021, one more new one although that one was because of this thread and from Better Records so I am not sure it would qualify for the statistics above.How many new re... | |
| SoundSmith cartridges how good? For whatever it is worth, Soundsmith Otello is Moving Iron. I have no idea how much that influences the sound.Soundsmith offers stylus change at one third of the price of the cartridge so it may be easier to replace than Moving Coil? | |
