The Sussurro MKII Gold ES – LIMITED EDITION - Hand built by Peter Ledermann IN STOCK!! - BUY IT NOW! (CLICK THIS!!) (link at bottom to go on to our main website.....) Soundsmith has a handful of these left – become a valued owner of this limited edition high performance design. Peter has graciously offered some of his personal time away from his microscope to assist buyers by phone (if needed) for installation and maintenance tips… The Sussurro Gold uses the lower internal moving mass and suspension used in the fabled Hyperion MKII, adding a stiffer, lighter Boron cantilever and ultra-low mass Contact Line stylus. The Sussurro Gold ES sets new standards in speed & detail with a warm analog glow. – Made in the USA….by Peter…..by hand. Initially inspired by Frank Schröder, designed and individually hand made by Peter Ledermann, Soundsmith's Sussurro Gold is a cartridge designed to specifically address the most intricate and critical issues of cartridge design. The new MKII Sussurro Gold has a newly designed moving iron element to reduce moving mass by 70% resulting in astonishingly low level of stylus jitter that many designs suffer from. This is accomplished by extremely low stored energy due to the novel moving system. The new ES damping system and an innovative energy distribution path to effectively transfer mechanical energy away from the cantilever through the cartridge body into the tone arm. So what does all this mean?? Low jitter. Jitter? You probably thought that was a term reserved for digital systems. Not so. Stylus jitter is responsible for loss of detail, and making a cartridge sound, well, like a cartridge. The Sussurro stays in constant contact with the record groove. If you are not in constant contact, you can’t hear what has truly been recorded. Made in the USA. Rebuild Price? $750 - Less than 12% of the sale price - ALWAYS ! The Sussurro Gold MKII-ES features a 2 year warranty to the original owner. Also available in dual-coil mono ($300 additional). |
