Soundsmith - PAUA Low-Output Low Effective Moving Mass Cartridge

As colorful and ardent as the Hawaiian Seashell from which it is named and adorned, The PAUA opens a window into LP playback that casts the entire spectrum of color and dimension.

Nothing in the record groove is ignored. The selected contact-line stylus and Telescoping Aluminum Cantilever contribute to an ultra low moving mass system.

The net result of Peter Ledermann’s design is an experience that puts the listener in the place and time of the musical event- no more/no less.

Please note that this cartridge has been specifically designed and created in the USA solely for those people that love music everywhere.
