One of the reviews out there makes comparison to my own favourite cartridge, the Miyajima Madake. Suitably low compliance as well. Low output moving iron - intriguing.

I've only encountered two Soundsmith cartridges, a Denon DL103 modded for mono (retipped and coils rotated) which was exceptional indeed I far preferred it to the Stereo version - should never have sold that - and an Ortofon SPU Gold which had had a Soundsmith hyper-elliptical added in place of the original ellliptical, and sounded fantastic (I was seriously skeptical till I heard it). I'll bet this Zephyr Mimic Star sounds ace.

The picture shown is not of actual cartridge I presume as it is taken from pic on following web page

As new sealed and unopened. If I was in the market for one of these that would suit me. As you say, once opened who knows.....

I feel the dilemma... :-)

montesquieu
04-09-2019, 07:31
Agreed. In this circumstance the pic of the box is sufficient I think.

If you are only 20 minutes from Marco's would a trip to Marco's for verification purposes be the solution to a quite tricky dilemma?

sealed box will be ok as its still sealed imo. its up to buyer if he wants to see it first.... but we shall see

its up to marco to send me his address so he can check this,, it will take 20 mins to get to where he lives,, the picture shown is of a Mimic Star ,, the box is still sealed,, and will stay that way ,, as i said it is easy to say it has not been used ,, the hologram
seals are still in tact ,, and i will not break them just to take a picture ,, it is in the box hence the 2 screws in the base that keep it in the box,,

This is definitely the real deal and ridiculously cheap for what is a new ZEPHR mimc. If I had the cash I’d snap it up. Pete’s a pukka chap and totally above board.

Cheers , i am glad you like the Kelos SL ,, i just wish i had the nerve to use it ,, the Soundsmith is the zephyr MiMIC Star and not the cheaper zepher ,, it is the same cartridge all the reviews are raving about ,, like the Kelos it as zero hrs and is still sealed in the box , , low out put .4mv ,,,load is from 450ohms,,
their is one on sale on eBay in italy at £1695+£21 post ,, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Soundsmith-Zephyr-Mimc-Cabezal-mi-Nueva-Garantia-Italia/303251740770?hash=item469b365862:g:3tAAAOSwLV9c6P6 H

Pete is 100% trustworthy and honest as the day is long. If he says the cartridge is an unused Soundsmith Zephyr Mimic.......that will be what it is. Top chap, a pleasure to deal with. Glws
