We'll have more to say about Soundsmith in the coming days.

In the meantime, read this essay on why they endorse fixed coil technology.

Frank Schröder and I met Peter Lederman in the early 2000's at a CES show, where we heard his first prototype strain gauge cartridge.  We were immediately impressed with his work.

Even without taking their sonics into consideration, Soundsmith cartridges are the best value in audio.

They have the most liberal cartridge repair/retip policy in the industry along with an industry leading warranty (2 years to the original owner).

So when the "cleaning lady" clips the cantilever off your Hyperion, you'll breathe a sigh of relief.

Not only are standard rebuild prices between 10 and 20 percent of a new cartridge, but the Hyperion (and most other Soundsmith cartridges) is delivered to owners with one free rebuild! 

Where else in the industry can you find value like this?

Compare this against the industry standard, where your first "rebuild" will set you back anywhere from 50 to 80% of retail.

Never miss a good story!
