Soundsmith Mezzo and Nautilus Phono Cartridges

Tom Lyle has posted a review of the Soundsmith Mezzo ($3800) and Nautilus ($4400) phono cartridges at Enjoy the Music. His conclusions:

“Both the Soundsmith Mezzo and Nautilus both won me over. They are better than any other phono cartridges I’ve ever heard anywhere near each of their prices. Most importantly they reproduced the music cut into each record I played as if it was the real thing, whether one considers the real thing as recorded on the concert hall stage, in the studio, or from the software on a laptop computer generating electronic sounds.”
