Dear Peter,

The purpose of this e-mail is to follow up with you and let you know how elated I am with your cartridge!
In the end, my choice was the MKIII which has surpassed all my expectations!

It was a wild ride during the break-in with both the bass and treble opening up and sometimes taking off.
They were always clear, never muddy but just increasing in response and depth.

The cartridge has mellowed out and stunning in my system. I am feeding the EAR into 350 W digital mono block amps through custom made Klipschorns (high end drivers) with a crossover of my own design. Unbelievable and just getting better!

The bass is crisp, clear and crushing and the mid range responsive and smooth. The treble is the best I have ever heard out of a cartridge on vinyl. The whole system is fast! You can heard the tips of the sticks hitting the cymbals and the picks on the guitar strings. Outstanding!

Please feel free to use my feedback.

Great work and product! Thanks!

Sincerely,

Jim Russo

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.
