Soundsmith Paua MKII ES
New Version. Like new condition. Purchased May 23 from Music Direct. I would conservatively say less that 40 hours have been played and thus not even broken in. Awesome cartridge but have a great opportunity to move all the way up in the Soundsmith Line.

The Paua Mk.II oozes thought. This low output design uses a contact line nude stylus with a Telescoping Aluminium Alloy cantilever. Backed by a 1.9gm tracking force, a gain of 58-64dB and a loading in excess of 470 Ohms. The critical aspect of this design is it’s basic engine. It’s not a moving coil, it’s a fixed coil, which effectively lowers the moving-mass of the system, specifically the generator inside the cartridge.
The Paua is one of Soundsmith's most highly regarded top of the line low output cartridges. It has won numerous accolades and praise from users and reviewers around the word, including an “Editor’s Choice Award” in 2015 from TAS. Now we introduce the new Paua MKII, employing a newly developed Aluminum alloy used to fashion the MKII's cantilever into a precision acoustic and mechanical lever. It features stiffness in the ranges required, while providing critical damping in other sections of the acoustic spectrum. The reult is an even better Paua, a cartridge that gets raves from its owners, and can be fully rebuilt many times for $550 - a fraction of its original cost - as with all Soundsmith cartridges - 20% or less.
