Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star Low Output Cartridge
Frequently Bought Together
Product Overview & Specifications
Recently, Peter Ledermann decided to see if he could stretch the limits of the MIMC's performance even higher without stretching past the £2k price point ... little did any of us know how far he would be able to take it!
It is just one of those outstanding models that punches so far above its weight that it is scary, and as customers receive and install their cartridges they are discovering just how outrageously good this cartridge is. Were getting some truly amazing feedback from customers re-discovering their vinyl collection, hearing far deeper into the groove than they have before! Even in Peter Ledermann's own system he achieved better than 43dB channel separation with this Giant Slayer! Try THAT with your exotic MC might be difficult.
The updated Zephyr MIMC smashes through sonic barriers with its new laser-drilled Sapphire cantilever and select nude Contact-Line diamond stylus!
This is probably the most important Soundsmith model to have in your arsenal. It brings an astounding portion of the performance available only in our top-level low output cartridges.
