Paua Mk.II Fixed Coil Cartridge from Soundsmith

GOOD: focus, rhythmic pace, tracking, tonal accuracy, low noise

Not so much thinking out of the box but making a whole new box, Paul Rigby reviews the Paua Mk.II cartridge

I like Peter Ledermann, owner of Soundsmith and designer of the Paua Mk.II. He’s a guy who thinks. Many hi-fi industry people only ‘do’. When people ‘do’ a lot and ‘think’ less then ‘why’ is hardly ever addressed. What happens then? Inertia. Improvements are slow to occur and more investment is pumped into known, safe and default ways of doing things. The more money that’s pumped into any system, the larger the fear to change it because people who ‘waste’ money tend to be sacked.

In short, this is one of the handful of high-end products so good and so different, it really is worth serious travel to hear.
