I've got a post going reflecting the same thinking except I'd like to try the Sussuro MK II. The discounts are seriously huge and there seems to be little difference other than the body between these and the new models.
Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC upgrade to Paua opinions?
I have a Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC mounted in a Basis Vector 4 arm on a refurbed Technics SP-10 MK II...With the blow out pricing on the older SS cartridges going on now, I am considering getting a Paua MK I. Has anyone heard these two or made this upgrade to say what are the performance differences between these cartridges? You can getthe Paua for $1999 at online retailers..that is what has me thinking...I have been ripping vinyl to DSD128 with the Korg DS-DAC10R (on 50-ish albums so far)
BTW - the rest of my system ...Tom Tutay tube phono, Tube Research Dude pre, Tube Research Samson monos,Greem Mountain C3-HX, two Seaton Submersive HP Subs, Lumin A1.
