Improved Strain Gauge cartridge at Heathrow Show 28-29 March

It's the Heathrow spring show at the Park Inn this coming weekend. We will be in syndicate 15.

Soundsmith have upgraded their unique Strain Gauge cartridge system by improving channel separation and therefore better soundstage width and depth. Our new demo preamp is in a new finish – black Lucite. (See Paul Messenger's review in the latest Hi Fi Critic).

We are particularly excited about the new Calypso HD speakers from Green Mountain Audio because of how they preserve timing and rhythm with really crisp transients. They are time and phase coherent, very neutral and small enough to fit most listening rooms.
