For your consideration is an excellent phono stages from Soundsmith. This is the updated and improved model according to their website. All I can say is...you'll be happy with your purchase. Please go online and read the reviews. Also, stop by Sound Smiths website.I've been using the phono stage with the Sound Smith Zephyr MIMIC Star Cartridge with AMAZING results. I'm moving up the phono stage chain, so this one must be sold. Quote from Peter Ledermann @ Soundsmith First; my preamps. They are very high end designs, but we don’t make much $$ on them. Why, you may ask, do we make them. For the same reason that I do many things that don’t translate into money. It is for the music and my customers. Fremer and Holmes BOTH got what I did when I designed them and in their reviews of the original Sussurro and MCP-2 said the same thing: "If you have X $ to spend, don’t split it on a cartridge and preamp, buy the Soundsmith Sussurro and MCP-2 - you will be far ahead of the game". I made our preamps high end but low cost them so folks COULD save $ and move up the food chain in our line of carts and get far more result. I listen to and demo the Hyperion with the MCP-2 ($1199) - which has compared favorably to preamps costing 4X as much. I also introduced continuously variable loading - on the fly - from 10 Ohms to 5K - so you can tune it by ear to what sounds good to you. Please add 3% for PayPay fee. Shipping $12.50 Thanks for looking.
