The Soundsmith Sussurro cartridge, inspired by Frank Schröder and hand made by Peter Ledermann in the USA, addresses critical cartridge design issues with a newly designed moving iron element that reduces moving mass by 70%. It features extremely low stored energy, a new MKII damping system, and an innovative energy distribution path to transfer mechanical energy away from the cantilever through the cartridge body into the tone arm, resulting in low stylus jitter and superior tracking. The cartridge is available in stereo and dual-coil mono versions, with a ruby cantilever and a contact line nude stylus. It offers a warm tonal balance with excellent bass, tracking, and high-frequency resolution, making it suitable for audiophiles seeking detailed and dynamic vinyl playback. The Sussurro comes with a 2-year warranty and rebuild options at less than 20% of MSRP, making it a long-term investment.
