@chakster, I don’t quite understand your post. Are you for or against the Hanna carts? It was that video that got me looking into the Hana line and they are at the top of my list when I buy my TT as I understand they are hard to beat for the money.
New Cartridge Suggestions
Help. I’m way too new to ferret thru the myriad of cartridges. I received a George Warren turn table in Feb. It has a Denon DL-110 on it. I’m getting a new Jolida JD-9 for Christmas because my Denon AVR-4806 doesn’t quite cut it & seems to leave a veil over some of the music.
The little neighbor kid started playing with the tt & bent the stylus. As I read, the cost to replace the stylus is a wash because something needs to be rebuilt before a stylus can be out on. So, I might as well replace it.
I don’t know of any places north of Chicago to audition new cartridges. My budget is very stretched at $500-I expected to only be getting to the phono preamp.
1) Does anyone know of a place in N/NW Chicago or suburbs to shop a cartridge?
2) is there anything on Audiogon that people would recommend?
I tend to like things a tad bright.
Please don’t critique what I have or give suggestions to replace X & Y & Z.
Thank you again for your guidance.
