Soundsmith Hyperion Moving Iron Cartridge

Hi Folks,

This is brand new and was intended to replace our display Paua High Output - however we decided to use a Strain Gauge instead!

This is an extremely good deal and is covered with a full 10 year manufacturer's warranty. A quick sale is required to recoup some funds for the EVEN BIGGER purchase of the strain gauge.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to purchase one of the finest cartridges at any price point.

Please contact me if you have any other questions.
