About the Paua II
The Soundsmith Paua Mk II is a high-end phono cartridge known for its detailed and smooth sound reproduction. It features a nude line contact stylus fitted to a telescoping aluminum alloy cantilever, providing a warm yet detailed soundstage. The cartridge is designed with a low compliance of 10µm/mN, which helps in achieving a precise tracking performance. It has a DC resistance of 10Ω and a coil inductance of 2.75 mH per channel, with an output voltage of more than 0.4 mV. The recommended tracking force is between 1.7 and 1.9 grams, and the suggested preamp gain is between 58 and 64 dB. The Paua Mk II is housed in a Faraday cage-like case to reduce motor-induced hum, making it suitable for a variety of musical genres.
