Sorry for the VERY delayed reply. (I had forgotten I even posted in this thread
)
I like this flat TA - A LOT. It's extremely rigid and a dream to set up. The thin flat profile makes VTA adjustment simple. Replacing cartridges is a snap because the TA can be removed in about 15 seconds. The counterweight mounting system is also very cleverly done. Overall, it's the best sounding table I've ever owned. The E-Flat boasts rock solid construction all the way round.
As to the Paua Mk. II, what a lovely sounding cartridge. Very fluid, dynamic and quiet. Tracks flawlessly and really sees into the music. No coloration that I can tell. Very transparent. Best cart I've ever owned. It replaced a Denon DL 304 which I though was a pretty good cartridge (and it is) but not in the same league as the Soundsmith.
