SoundSmith cartridges how good?


And how do they compare to others. Forget about cost just thoughts on sonics? Obviously if matched with correct tonearm.

Please see my review of the SG elsewhere in this forum.
The SG is NOT bright once past about 25- 50 hours. Indeed, it is extremely "neutral" and extremely revealing, articulate, dynamic, and honest. ( The last attribute is a "killer" for poorly recorded LPs! ) The tonal characteristics of instruments is very accurate provided your system per se does not add "color".  
Also, don't forget that the stylus/cantilever are user replaceable without even the need to take the cart off the tonearm or realign!  A simple 5 minute process for a fraction of the cost of other brands.
The included "phono amp" eliminates the need for a traditional phono amp and saves thousands easily offsetting a large part of the cost of the SG. If you have a specific question, please contact me.

Would I like a Soundsmith cart?  Currently use Denon DL103R on Linn Basik tonearm.  Like it a lot.   Non nonsense, just rock solid top to bottom. 
Hello,
I am happy to hear about Peter and his company’s problem was a one off. In the future it would be great if we could keep the negative comments to ourselves until we know for sure it is a pattern. This is people’s lively hood in a one year time frame that crippled the entire world. The average age of an Axpona attendee is 61 years old. Thank god some of the younger generations are helping the resurgence of turn tables. My one main issue is you did not call them back and talk to someone about your issue hopefully on another day.  He might have just dropped and stepped on a very expensive cart. Everyone has bad days. Explaining to them what happened might have helped you out in the long run. It sounds like Peter runs a great company and does care about his work and his customers. Please get the facts first. Just a thought.

For every negative experience there can and usually are dozens of good ones you never hear about.  I bought a new turntable that had a predetermined preinstalled Soundsmith Paua mkII cart by the dealer and within the first few days I bent the tricky but ingenious stylus guard.  
So I cold called SS, and Mr. Ledermann answered and minutes after the phone call I had emails from Peter Green and Amy Reyes with my tracking number for a replacement.  Can’t get any better than that, right ? 

Love these first hand Soundsmith reviews. But every time I get my mind made up it must be the SG then I read about the magical Hyperion midrange and, arrgh! Good thing I'm not quite ready yet.
