Hyperion MKII-ES Phono Cartridge
32,415.00
The groundbreaking Soundsmith Hyperion moving-iron phono cartridge delivers vibrant, colorful, and outright masterful playback limited only by the restraints on the rest of your system. A no-holds-barred component that holds its own in the most discerning setups, Hyperion features a patent-pending cactus-needle cantilever that supplies stiffness and damping, properties that until this invention were exclusive of one another. Hum-free operation, RF shielding, and extreme stability accompany Hyperion’s low-effective moving mass to yield breathtaking transient, microdetail, and soundstaging. With loading of 1k or greater, Hyperion is compatible with MC preamplifiers and does everything but pull up your chair and give you the best seat in the house for unforgettable musical performances. Hand-built in the U.S.A. by Soundsmith lead designer Peter Ledermann, Hyperion is sonic manna.
