Do you really price match?
We will match any e-Commerce (Online store) Authorized USA Dealer's advertised price. Please call us toll free (877) 370-1972 and alert us to where you found the product cheaper. We will verify, and if the site is an Authorized US Dealer- we will match their price. However, if the price is below the manufacturer Minimum Advertised Price (MAP)- we will have to get authorization to match the price. We will not violate our signed agreements that we have with our vendors.
What about price matching from an auction site?
We do not price match any auction or "grey market" site.

SoundSmith - Zephyr Mk. III - High-Output Moving Magnet Cartridge
The Zephyr Mk. III is built using a selected "low mass CONTACT LINE diamond" stylus design, mounted on a Boron cantilever - capable of truly remarkable separation, sound stage and imaging.
The composite body and unique energy distribution system contributes to the Zephyr Mk. III cartridge’s ability to produce high-end performance from a moderately priced cartridge. Using technology found in SoundSmith’s higher cost cartridges, the Zephyr Mk. III Moving Iron cartridge will provide a level of clarity and beauty from your vinyl that will make you take out your record collection and listen to it all over again.
The Zephyr Mk. III is a high output, low compliance design; one model in a great cartridge lineup from SoundSmith that overturns the myth that "moving coil" cartridges are the only path towards perfection. After all, what is the "advantage" of the moving coil type of cartridge? Low moving mass, right? We got less. Much less. And if you understand moving mass, less IS more. The 40 year evolution of our moving iron cartridges affords lower EFFECTIVE moving mass than most other types of cartridges. That's good, because if you can't stay in contact with the groove walls, you can't hear what's on the record.
The Zephyr Mk. III is a HIGH OUTPUT "Moving Iron design" - it can be used with a standard Moving Magnet pre-amp. No transformers. No finicky multi-stage ultra high gain preamp required. Less is more here, too.
