You cannot go wrong with the Zephyr. I have a few Sound-Smith products (not the Zephyr) and IMO they have the most natural sound and are a terrific value. I have an Ortophon 2M Black and I don’t use it (probably will sell it), it sounds too "hard". I had the Shure and replaced that long ago. I also have a classic Signet TK-7SU and an MA 2002e by Micro-Acoustics that are in their boxes.
I use the Sound-Smiths all the time. They sound the best to me. I’m sure all the carts mentioned are good, but like I said, you can’t go wrong with the Zephyr.
