Zephyr MIMC Star ES

Hi Peter,

I agonized for weeks before finally deciding to replace my Zephyr with the low-output Zephyr MIMC Star ES version; I just wasn't sure how much difference I'd notice (since I was wholly satisfied with the old cartridge). I needn't have worried (as you surely know). I could list several ways in which the improvement is even greater
than I had thought it might be. But perhaps the most significant, in my mind, is the nuance I now hear quite regularly that I had not heard before and I've been playing mostly LPs I've had for 40 or 50 years, so I'm pretty familiar with them! The subtle shadings, variations in rhythm, etc. that constitute the real art & soul of music are just much more apparent. Maybe for the first time, and certainly at least much more so than before, I now understand, and appreciate, what it means to describe a piece of equipment as being musical. So thanks for offering such a great product and thanks again for your technical support.

Regards,
Bruce Adams

They Said What?

I played this album a few times on my system before adding the Zephyr MK III ES. I found it far superior to the CDs I'd listened to, with excellent tone on Miles' trumpet and a deep and wide soundstage. But when I listened to it the first time with the Zephyr MK III ES, it was another level of cool. Right off the bat, the surface noise was down, significantly. Secondly, the soundstage was deeper and wider than I have ever heard on my system before. James Cobb's snare had more snap and his high hat took on more air. Song after song, I was completely engaged in the music.
