As bad as this sounds, I still have not mounted it....my 2M black's stylus is at the end of its lifespan so I haven't been playing vinyl for over a month. I did just order mounting screws for the Paua the other day though. I will be sure to update once I get off my butt and finally mount the cart. I also have new tubes to put into the line stage at the same time.
I think I'm also going to make an attempt at tracking hours on the Paua, prior carts I've gone by ear. There are so many opinions on this from "I change the cart/retip every 800 hours" to "2,000 hours is doable." All my records are cleaned in a KLaudio, stored in mofi sleeves and always get a carbon fiber brushing before play.
