Without music, life would be a mistake.

On my Technics table, I had been using the Concorde cart with a Sty 40 for a few years, and thought it sounded great.
Also, a few years ago, I picked up a Soundsmith Carmen MKII, and liked the sound, but the output was a bit lower than the Concorde, and I had hum issues that were aggravating, so I stopped using it.
I recently changed my phono stage setup, and went back to the Soundsmith, and using Steves quality analogy on improvement, the Carmen has given me a solid 30% jump in quality. So much so that I just ordered a lightly used Soundsmith Aida MKII and look forward to its arrival.
For me, Soundsmith is the real deal.
