Soundsmith Sussurro MKII cartridge

The moving iron design allows for a significantly lower moving mass compared to traditional moving coil cartridges. By reducing this mass by 70%, the stylus can track the record groove with much greater speed and precision, resulting in less distortion and improved detail retrieval.

The updated damping system is engineered to minimize stored energy within the cartridge. This prevents unwanted resonances and stylus jitter, ensuring the needle maintains constant contact with the groove for a cleaner, more stable audio signal.

The Sussurro MKII is designed to be compatible with most high-quality tonearms, but its performance is highly dependent on proper calibration. Because of its precision engineering, we recommend professional installation to ensure the tracking force and alignment are perfectly dialed in for your specific setup.

This cartridge is a high-resolution component that will reveal the strengths and weaknesses of the rest of your signal chain. It performs best when paired with a high-quality phono stage and a transparent amplification system that can resolve the fine nuances it extracts from the vinyl.

Lower moving mass reduces the physical stress placed on the record groove during playback. By ensuring the stylus tracks accurately with less resistance, it helps minimize long-term wear on your records, keeping them in better condition over repeated plays.
