SoundSmith cartridges how good?

Yes, he is at home. And talking to one of the builders, and yes, he stated they would be back on Monday. This is really taking a toll on the business.

Glad to hear is back home and recovering. I wonder if he has a protege to help with the business and pass down his artisan craftsmanship to others. I believe he is the only American making handcrafted cartridges in the United States.

Nope. There's Steve at VAS. As with Peter, he's a nice guy.

You have to watch this video about another family business in NYC.  
All about cartridges and headphones ! 

Thanx Chakster!  Shoot, Joseph Grado was building cartridges on his dinning room table in the 50's. He invented the moving coil cartridge! He invented the moving iron cartridge. He is as American as they get.
