It sounds like an intriguing concept. The description is a bit more fleshed out, but unfortunately, it sounds more like a incremental improvement, somewhat characteristic of the changes described by audiophiles any time a new component is introduced ...

Dear Paul,Generally I can say a lot lower sound floor, You hear more detail with less compression. Very open. I compared it with Mayajima Shilabe and Ortofon Royal N, with Ortofon 12", SME 3012 and TW Raven tone arms. As you see I'm using "heavy" arm...

The Sussurro has an unusually wide loading range listed by Soundsmith, ranging from 470 ohms to 5k ohms. It is possible that more recent models have a somewhat tighter range between 470 and 2k ohms but I am not positive. The capacitance of Soundsmith...

Thank you for your support on debugging Romy. When I had the soundsmith and encountered the problem, Mr. Lederman tried to help me and we did something along your lines. Rather than digital, we did it with his sg200. mains-->PP-->sg200 (input s...

is the visual projection of Soundsmith house sound .Incidentally they love to use as many bright blue LEDs in their equipment as they can fit. You should stop by at their demo room to listen to their vision of what the right sound is.  I will subscri...

A flurry of questions arises before sending ones phono cartridge out for repairs, such as, “How can I be sure I know what my cartridge needs in the first place?” “Who will be diagnosing and who will be doing the work?” “How will I know what th...

It is the second Romy, the noise is always present. There was always a little noise but when I had a soundsmith strain gauge system arrive, I was expecting not to have any noise. It is a hum free device. When I installed it thought, there was a buzz....
