Up for sale is an immaculate Soundsmith Paua moving iron cartridge with under 100 hours of playtime. I absolutely LOVE this cartridge and am only selling it because I bought the new Luxman EQ-500 phono stage which only has 2.5 and 40 ohm settings for MC impedance. This cartridge requires more loading than that, so it is not a good match with my new phono stage. Alas, I will have to buy an ortofon Cadenza or something else with a super low impedance loading requirement. Anyway, most phono stages will allow for the right impedance (just needs over 300 ohms) and I’m certain there isn’t a better cartridge out there at any price. This thing blew away my Koetsu Rosewood, my Cadenza Bronze, and my Zyx Universe! Priced to sell fast - please reach out with any questions.
