My understanding is the the Soundsmith MI cartridges are B&O cartridges the he now manufactures. B&O cartridges sounded very good to my ears!

An update.
I went to the Stereophile site to read about Art Dudley reviewing a phono stage. Instead, I found he'd written an article on Soundsmith. I thought you might find it interesting. It seems to answer our questions on the B&O history. (link below)

I have seen that article before. It is part of what I was basing my statements on, bur I was too lazy to track it down!

But have no idea if they still are. I haven't heard a B&O cartridge since probably 1977. I'd love to hear a Soundsmith cartridge someday. Too bad that they don't offer 30 day free trials, like some speaker and wire manufacturers do.And I'm saying that tongue in cheek. I know how difficult that would be, especially with something as fragile as a cartridge. Still, buying a $1000 cartridge based on nothing but a review or two really makes me uncomfortable. Nothing against Sounsdmith, it's that way everywhere. I had to buy my Denon 103R, Dynavector DV-20 XL, Audio-Technica oc9 mk2, and Zu 103R exactly that way. The OC-9 was the only one I sold.
I always enjoy your posts, by the way!
Edited for spelling.

Even the Carmen and Othello are not cheap, with the Othello coming in at just under $500.
