SoundSmith's Paua
Cartridges by SoundSmith
Manufacturer's Description:
Inspired by Frank Schröder, designed by
Peter Ledermann.....Soundsmith's long
awaited NEW top of the line moving Iron
cartridge ~ The Sussurro Paua~
The laws of physics dictate how moving
systems operate, therefore cartridges must
strictly adhere to first principles to get
sublime results. In accord with these laws,
the Sussurro has an incredibly low effective
moving mass, resulting in vastly improved
damping.
The lowered inertia means less stored energy in the moving system, so that primary
resonances that normally occur all but vanish.
This moving iron design allows the required stationary magnetic parts to be rigidly held
in exact position at all times. The fully shielded annealed case allows totally hum free
operation, RF shielding, and extreme mechanical stability.
~ MC Preamp compatible
~ Ultra low effective moving mass resulting in superlative transient and micro
detail performance
~ Telescoping Aluminum Alloy Cantilever / Selected nude Contact Line diamond stylus
~ Composite body featuring impedance matched energy transmission system
For the first time it is possible to enjoy the virtues of our low effective moving mass
architecture with the finest step ups and phono preamps for truly amazing vinyl replay.
