Soundsmith "The Voice"?

I'd like to receive some impressions/opinions on The Voice. How does it fare vs. the typically heralded LOMCs? I'm particularly interested b/c of the easy interchangeability of stereo & mono carts. Also: if anyone can tell me the difference betwn the acrylic body and the wood, I'd appreciate it. Thanks guys!

There is a stereomojo review recently posted. It's an admirable performer. I am fascintaed by the design but it is not compatible with my phono stage. Frank Shroeder was so taken by the design that he built a special low mass bamboo arm for its unusually high compliance.

One of the best cartridges in the world!! It sounds like music, not hi-fi. Very highly recommended when compared to the DRT, the Goldfinger, and the Titan, with a smoother more tape like sound.

The cartridge needs a very low friction tonearm, no 10 year old Regas need sign up.

What arms work well with The Voice?

There are two versions, I believe, one with a 22 um/mN medium compliance and one with 28 um/mN high compliance.
