Hyperion MKII ESMR
40,520.00
The HYPERION is the cartridge of choice for the most esteemed audio equipment manufacturers. Why? Because when they exhibit their gear at Hi-Fi shows, they want their turntable, amplifier or speaker systems to sound the very best that they can! Peter Ledermann‘s radical design utilizes an actual “cactus spine” for the cantilever. The naturally tapered shape stacked columnar fibers and desiccated resin damping fit the exact parameters of the perfect cantilever: Low mass, extreme rigidity, internal damping, and tremendous strength. Each one hand crafted by Peter Ledermann – Made in the USA.

Description
The Soundsmith Hyperion MKII ES is a flagship, low-output, moving-iron (fixed coil) phono cartridge designed for audiophiles who demand exceptional detail, neutrality, and musicality. Handmade in the USA by Peter Ledermann, it uses high-precision materials (including a “cactus spine” cantilever) and advanced vibration-management (DEMS – Dynamic Energy Management System) to reduce unwanted resonances and keep stylus-groove contact maximized. The ES housing also adds built-in azimuth adjustment and better handling of electrical/hum issues.
Features
-Fixed coil / moving iron design: gives the “best of both worlds” between MC and MM in terms of dynamic response and lower noise.
-Contact-Line stylus (nude, 0.10 mm square) or optimized contour stylus options for excellent groove engagement.
-Cactus spine cantilever: unusually rigid, tapered, fiber-stacked design with damping to reduce resonance.
-DEMS (Dynamic Energy Management System): improved vibration control internally to reduce reflected vibrations and preserve sonic detail.
-Azimuth adjustment built into the cartridge shell (useful if your tonearm does not provide azimuth control)
-Electrical isolation options to reduce hum or interference in sensitive setups.
