Boheme

Made in  the USA. Rebuild Price? ~  This model is out of production. Soundsmith normally rebuilds all our cartridges for 20% (or less) of the MSR Price, but parts for this model have increased dramatically. Still VERY much worth it! Rebuild Price is ~  $399   - The Boheme featured a 2 year warranty to the original owner.

The Boheme represents extreme value; featuring a single crystal Ruby Cantilever and low mass nude contact line diamond, the Boheme punches far past the performance of other cartridges in its price range.

A vibrant, lively and compelling cartridge, the Boheme will breathe new life into your system – opening up the true nature of the event of every type of recording, conveying far more music and emotion. A new suspension and ultra-light cantilever allow the Boheme to achieve sonic velocities and images with a deeper and broader acoustic palette.

Also available in dual-coil mono ($300 additional).
