I get a lot of them at the record store, I just buy really nice originals whenever he gets them.Hey 4-2-7 ..
It's that $12 Discwasher that's letting all these fine front ends resolve the detail that we listen for
I recently bought the previous version Zephyr MIMC Star, offered at a great discount, due to the release of the latest iteration. I had always read that Soundsmith made great cartridges, but never considered them, as I found them aesthetically displeasing. After coming across an ad at the close-out price, and reading about the unlimited 20% (of retail) re-tip cost, for Soundsmith cartridges, I took a gamble. I'm so glad I did! It is a magnificent sounding cartridge.Got the Soundsmith Zephyr mkIII last week and have been running it in. I’m glad my dealer talked me into this purchase, this is going to give me joy for a long time to come. It was a big chunk of change but it’s factory rebuild able and just brings so much out of my records. A phono pre upgrade should really jump a level. Very pleased.
Here is some shots of my tabes I took about 7 months ago, I did a big tear down then.

Beauty!View attachment 1686430 View attachment 1686432 Mine's an SME 20/2 with an SME IV.Vi arm. Currently running an Audio Technica AT33Sa cartridge. Have a Grado Reference Sonata with a Soundsmith ruby cantilever and stylus rebuild with around 50 hours on that I should probably sell since I never use it. Right now I have a Benz Micro L2 and Ruby 2 being looked at to see if I want to pay the cost to rebuild those.
Beauty!
