Review:
The Souther SLA-3 is capable of excellent performance. However, making it produce these results will require a good deal of patient adjusting and readjusting by the user. The SLA-3 is the best of it's type that I have seen - $850 Audio May 1984

"The Soundsmith Carmen's ultra-low-mass MI assembly plays with more agility, is more naturally detailed, and sounds less stressed than any MC I'm aware of. Its treble is not dull or rolled off—it's just the most authentic treble I've experienced from a phonographic transducer."
