Soundsmith The Voice

Just curious what the word on the street was like for this cartridge. Apparently it created quite a buzz at CES. Frank Schroder was so impressed that he is designing a tonearm just for this cartridge.

I have a bit of a technical question if anybody knows,...as a moving iron design is this a voltage generator like MM or a current generator like MC?

Thank you Jay for the comments - I must correct your typo - The Voice is a MOVING IRON, compatible with MM INPUTs.... the proper load is 47K. In all magnetic cartridges, the coil genereated current is converted to a voltage by its own internal resistance according to Ohms Law. The real truth about those who argue about magnetic cartridges being either current sources or votlage sources is that they are both half wrong and half right.

All the best -
