VIEWSoundsmith Mezzo Medium-Output HiFi Turntable CartridgeItem Code: Soundsmith MezzoThe Mezzo is essentially a medium-output version of the Sussurro- a high-end low-output cartridge. It features a ruby cantilever and nude diamond stylus, engineered in the Contact Line shape. This special shape mimics that of the stylus used to cut grooves in vinyl and ensures maximum contact with your record. The Mezzo, like all the other cartridges in Soundsmith's Fixed Coil range, benefits from a drastic reduction in mass and noise returned to the record itself, and also avoids suffering from 'stylus jitter' to produce wonderfully clear and detailed sound. Each Mezzo is handmade in upstate New York by Peter Ledermann, President & Chief Engineer of Soundsmith.
VIEWSoundsmith Helios Medium-Output HiFi Turntable CartridgeItem Code: Soundsmith HeliosThe Helios is the medium-output version of the Hyperion- the top-of-the-line high-output cartridge by Soundsmith. Helios features a specially-designed, hand-formed "cactus spine" cantilever and nude diamond stylus, with the stylus available in Contact Line or Optimised Contour Contact Line shapes. The Contact Line shape is specifically designed to ensure maximum contact by matching the shape of the stylus used to etch grooves in vinyl records. As a part of Soundsmith's Fixed Coil range, Helios also benefits from drastically reduced mass and noise relayed back to your record, as well as the ability to minimise 'stylus jitter', allowing this cartridge to deliver exceptionally clean and detailed sound with minimal distortion. Every Helios cartridge is handmade in upstate New York by Peter Ledermann, President & Chief Engineer of Soundsmith.
VIEWSoundsmith Irox Blue High-Output "Unbreakable" Phono CartridgeItem Code: Soundsmith Irox BlueThe Irox Blue is the entry-level cartridge in Soundsmith's "Unbreakable" range, providing high-output and high performance. This cartridge is designed to be robust without sacrificing detail, making it an ideal option for use in busy environments where multiple people with varying levels of skill can be expected to operate the turntable. Like all of Soundsmith's cartridges, the Irox Blue also benefits from Soundsmith's innovative Fixed Coil technology. In addition to drastically reducing the overall weight of the device, this technology also prevents your cartridge from returning noise to your record and reduces 'stylus jitter' which is a cause of distortion, ultimately meaning exceptionally clear and detailed sound.
