Just added full LP playback

@audioguy85 

“ the Hana prefers to be run ass down “

can you explain this a bit more ?
if sibilance( slight) and looking for more bass,  how does this relate 

still trying stuff and they do make differences 

@lalitk 
no mention of cabling ?  I’m using low capacitance project cable to phono pre and cheap radio shack rca’s 

most of my cabling is Kimber kable hero & monocle 

Lp analog appears to be tweekers delight!

I added a 2nd LP as .120 pad and raised( lowered) VTA by 4 degrees. ( audio advisors set to 92 degrees)
The bass was definitely, better 

Sibilance was worse , As I think I need to increase tracking force ! As next 



Anyway, I played my LP vs Roon and , yep , LP is light bass 

4 degrees is a hell of change for VTA 
I guess perfect alignment is not so critical, after all the conversations I’ve read 

I should have figured since all the alignment stuff is visual and subjective , with no Dial indicators and such 
I’ll keep playing , great suggestions

Gents:

I’ll be trying suggestions , I’ve adjusted all the loadings and ended at 380 ohm & 200 pf 

I’ll try double album height , tonight,  For VTA

I’ll working on getting bass heavy albums to try 

The 3 albums , I started with , are 1970’s. I got for $6.12 
might be yucky recordings Dan fogleburg, Tim weisburg & gino vinelli 
buy, WOW    They were very quiet !!!!

leveled and put granite under TT to see
not much help 

The journey begins !  As I knew it would, and take some time , and effort just like the rest of the system It could be my digital setup is so much better ?
( see if that comment strikes you guys up ! Lol)

@lalitk 

sweet looking setup 
my compliments 

is the Thorens a suspended table ?

I was told a suspended table would not have the bass of a heavy damped turntable ? 

I noticed the ML has a brass plate ? Is that so its For heavier tonearms ?       
 How did you start with the ML ?
