Paua Mk2 cartridge

"I never expected when I mounted the new Paua Mk2 cartridge that it would sound as good as my 20K reference Koetsu Blue Lace...I am loading the Paua at 1 K ohm through my Dan D'Agostino Phono Stage and it sounds like a world class cartridge...with break in over the past few weeks I am starting to realize that I may have to fess up and admit that the Paua is becoming my new reference...and a little off topic but important is that Mr. Ledermann's EZ mount screw set and azimuth adjustable headshell are amazing products themselves in their own right..." - Theodore Neff, NH

They Said What?

I played this album a few times on my system before adding the Zephyr MK III ES. I found it far superior to the CDs I'd listened to, with excellent tone on Miles' trumpet and a deep and wide soundstage. But when I listened to it the first time with the Zephyr MK III ES, it was another level of cool. Right off the bat, the surface noise was down, significantly. Secondly, the soundstage was deeper and wider than I have ever heard on my system before. James Cobb's snare had more snap and his high hat took on more air. Song after song, I was completely engaged in the music.
