We used the Hyperion at RMAF last year. Very detailed yet has a tame, well damped character. Colorful yet controlled. Soundsmith is definitely on to something with this design. It sounds just as he describes the technical advantages to be.

Frank Schroder, who was operating out of our room, played a part in suggesting this oddball material.

One quirk is that the optimal load is higher than typical for contemporary mc carts, I think 1k. Since our Silbatone preamp was set up for 100 ohms, we had to use an outboard battery operated head amp from Schroder's hand luggage.

*No connection with Soundsmith other than friends with Frank but I did enjoy the cartridge quite a bit.
