Description
The medium-output Soundsmith Mezzo moving-iron phono cartridge combines a state-of-the-art damping system and innovative energy distribution to turn vinyl LPs into events on the order of live performances you witness in your room. Hand-made to order in the U.S.A. by Soundsmith lead designer Peter Ledermann, and featuring a single crystal ruby cantilever and an exotic highly polished OC-CL stylus, Mezzo makes high-end audio come to life with sensational realism. Its ultra-low moving mass, perfectionist-minded rigidity, and stunning elimination of unwanted resonances owe to supreme engineering and utmost musicality. On each record you spin, you'll hear further into the soundstages, detect new microdynamics and information, bask in tonal warmth, and enjoy dead-quiet playback that leaves nothing between you and your cherished music.
