The DS Audio Grand Master Extreme makes the front cover of Hi-Fi News in the UK.
A summary of Ken Kessler's review of the Grand Master Extreme is below:
"Despite my adoration of Decca, Soundsmith, and Koetsu pick-ups, HFN Feb ’21 saw me write, ‘TheGrand Master is so truly supreme in resolution, transparency, spatial recreation, neutrality and any other parameter I can name that it’s impossible for me to not say what I usually try to avoid: “This may be the best cartridge I’ve ever heard”’. This time, I cannot deny: the Grand MasterExtreme is even better."
