CES 2010 Coverage

January 11, 2010
The Soundsmith Room

Soundsmith was demonstrating its unique Strain Gauge cartridge and accompanying line of Dragonfly and Monarch loudspeakers and components. For a discussion of the Strain Gauge check out this thread. The semi-gloss wood-faced components were attractive - if you are into wood. The sound was attractive as well - if you are into the high-end, and who isn’t?

Soundsmith pulled out all the stops using a VPI HRX turntable for their demo.
