Has anyone heard the Soundsmith cartridges?

Peter Ledermann is well know to me. His work on cartridges is second to no one as is his re-tipping and complete cart re-do's . Check out his web site WWW.Soundsmith.com and yes for the money nothing beats his strain gauge(6K&up) that I have enjoyed listening to with friends.

I just got a cartridge man re-tipped back from them. It was surprisingly easy to set up, easier then the original one for some reason on my TT/arm to match to both null points and it sounds "fantastic". I bent the original stylus by accident and found getting the ruby retip a cost effective alternative and again it sounds better then ever.

Dear Zeal: I did in my system, the SMMC2 that it is a very good one and for that experience IMHO I think that the SMMC1 and The Voice can/could be better.

Now, how I put those MM /MI cartridges against MC ones?, IMHO I can say that compete seriously with it.

Right now I have one MC and two MM cartridges with Soundsmith on repair and I already have othre three cartridges ready to go.

Regards and enjoy the music.

How do Soundsmith's cartridges sound vs Dynavector cartridges? Are the SS neutral, bright, warm???

I have a Zephyr Mk II and a Paua. They are really outstanding cartridges. And, Soundsmith (Peter et al) provide top notch customer service.  I have not heard a Dynavector, so cannot compare.
