Worth the wait
Mr. Lederman,
Last week I purchased a Sussuro Gold MkII ES from Music Direct. It’s been mated with a Kuzma 4point 9”, on a Sota Sapphire VII. This has been 50+ years in the making. I’m sitting listening to Roxy Music Avalon. Simply magic. Having covered many genres and artists in the last few days I can say, without fear of being contradicted, that this cartridge is delicious. Sketches of Spain. Detail, soundstage, dynamics, air, articulation….. DAMN! James Newton Howard and Friends. How is this possible? And I thought I knew this recording inside out. God, at the detail.
I’ve been sitting with closed eyes and open ears in a state of amazement.I have music. Everything else disappears. You can’t put a price on that.Pat Metheny, From This Place. Track one, America Undefined. The effin train just took out my walls.
Thank you for making such an incredible instrument!
Can goosebumps become permanent?
Most sincerely,
David R
"The Soundsmith Carmen's ultra-low-mass MI assembly plays with more agility, is more naturally detailed, and sounds less stressed than any MC I'm aware of. Its treble is not dull or rolled off—it's just the most authentic treble I've experienced from a phonographic transducer."
