I've been lusting after a Soundsmith cartridge for quite awhile but the price of the one I want is on the :eek::eek::eek: side. I think, knowing VPI, the Zephyr MI has to provide eargasms.;)

    Looks killer though.

    You guys definitely need to do a good write up review as I'm drooling to hear what your impressions are on the Soundsmith. They get rave reviews from Fremer.
