Has anyone heard the Soundsmith cartridges?


There's been a lit of talk about the hand made Soundsmith cartridges. Is it truth or hype? Has anyone listen to them yet and how do they compare to other well known brands?
They say that the Soundsmith 103R-Ruby OC/CL ($729) is as good as a $3000 cartridge. Whats the scoop?

I just got a cartridge man re-tipped back from them. It was surprisingly easy to set up, easier then the original one for some reason on my TT/arm to match to both null points and it sounds "fantastic". I bent the original stylus by accident and found getting the ruby retip a cost effective alternative and again it sounds better then ever.
Dear Zeal: I did in my system, the SMMC2 that it is a very good one and for that experience IMHO I think that the SMMC1 and The Voice can/could be better.

Now, how I put those MM /MI cartridges against MC ones?, IMHO I can say that compete seriously with it.

Right now I have one MC and two MM cartridges with Soundsmith on repair and I already have othre three cartridges ready to go.

Regards and enjoy the music.

How do Soundsmith's cartridges sound vs Dynavector cartridges? Are the SS neutral, bright, warm???
I have a Zephyr Mk II and a Paua. They are really outstanding cartridges. And, Soundsmith (Peter et al) provide top notch customer service.  I have not heard a Dynavector, so cannot compare.
