SoundSmith - Zephyr MIMC - Low-Output Phono Cartridge
SoundSmith's new Zephyr MIMC: a fixed-coil cartridge compatible with moving coil preamps.
For those who own a high gain pre-amp and desire an affordable top of the line cartridge, SoundSmith has developed this beautiful new piece. Its hand-crafted design is based on the world-famous SUSSURRO cartridge but at a much more attainable price. It has a Boron cantilever, a composite body, and a very low moving mass. The resulting sound is impressive to even the most enthusiastic audiophiles.
