Product Description

The Soundsmith Hyperion MKII-MR Phono Cartridge is the cartridge of choice for the most esteemed audio equipment manufacturers. Why? Because when they exhibit their gear at Hi-Fi shows, they want their turntable, amplifier or speaker systems to sound the very best that they can! Peter Ledermann‘s radical design utilizes an actual “cactus spine” for the cantilever. The naturally tapered shape, stacked columnar fibers and desiccated resin damping fit the exact parameters of the perfect cantilever: Low mass, extreme rigidity, internal damping, and tremendous strength. The Hyperion is complimented with our selected OC-CL stylus. Each one hand crafted by Peter Ledermann – Made in  the USA. Rebuild Price? $950  ~ less than 10% of MSRP  !! – Imagine getting a NEW Hyperion for $950 each time you wear it out, or break it by accident……certainly one of the fears of owning a high end cartridge. Not anymore! You will NOT lose your investment with a Soundsmith Hyperion as you do with all other brands……
