The HYPERION (patent applied for) is the cartridge of choice for the most esteemed audio equipment manufacturers. Why? Because when they exhibit their gear at Hi-Fi shows, they want their turntable, amplifier or speaker systems to sound the very best that they can! Peter Ledermann‘s radical design utilizes an actual “cactus spine” for the cantilever. The naturally tapered shape, stacked columnar fibers and desiccated resin damping fit the exact parameters of the perfect cantilever: Low mass, extreme rigidity, internal damping, and tremendous strength. The Hyperion is complimented with our selected OC-CL stylus. Each one hand crafted by Peter Ledermann - Made in the USA. Rebuild Price? $850 ~ 11% of MSRP !! - Imagine getting a NEW Hyperion for $850 each time you wear it out, or break it by accident......certainly one of the fears of owning a high end cartridge. Not anymore! You will NOT lose your investment with a Soundsmith Hyperion as you do with all other brands...... New ES Series DEMS design : Click to learn more about these cartridges! |

Peter: I wanted to provide our thoughts on the performance of the Hyperion ES MK II. The overriding comment is that the Hyperion is the finest cartridge we have ever used. Comparative cartridges have included a broad range of top Japanese and German manufactured units. Among the Hyperion’s attributes and stand-out characteristics are its neutral and precise presentation. Neutral, but not in the sense of bland, emotionless and uninvolving. Neutral in the Hyperion’s case is an instrument that does not accentuated any aspect of the frequency range or cause coloration. There is no loss of information, attack or dynamics – it is all there. The music is lifted from the grooves in an effortless manner enveloping the listener in a massive three dimensional soundstage. Precision. Following sufficient break-in (not long) it is apparent the Hyperion reproduces music as intended. There is a realism to the presentation that other cartridges cannot approach. When you listen via the Hyperion you are playing the music, not the cartridge – it is a perfect reflection of the musicians and their art. Thank you for such a fine musical instrument. All made in the U.S.A.! Dale Humphrey (330) 260-6769 |

What They Said...
The Hyperion was used in a few rooms and all who had one and all who listened were enthused.
