Soundsmith - Carmen High output nude elliptical

Recognizing the variability in taste and systems, within the SoundSmith designs are three cartridges that present detailed analog with a noticably warmer or more sultry presentation - these include the value leading Carmen, the Zephyr and the Paua.

The Carmen is a best buy as well as one of the most favorable review cartridges around.

Highly recommended.
