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!

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.
William,
We are using it on my turntable with a Schroeder tonearm that has a heavier wand than Frank's special one, but the particular cartridge was built to match. So far, it is very promising...so much so that we intend to leave it there for the RMAF show in Denver. It is a very, very nice.
Mosin,

Thanks. What do you mean "the particular cartridge was built to match". Do you mean that you have the medium compliance version of The Voice?
William,

I really don't know the answer to the question, except to say that Peter Lederman has personally seen the tonearm on my turntable, and he responded accordingly. I wish I knew more, but right now, I don't. The reason I don't is because the turntable I built is a prototype, but not my property, so it is not in my possession. Confusing, no? Anyway, I'll ask about the match because it is an interesting question. I am of the opinion that the arm was made with a higher effective mass, however.

Caveat: If I am mistaken, it won't be the first time!
