| Just added full LP playback Mijostyn, thanks for the info, but I have no issues with my Hana EL and pro-ject the classic combo. My bass is fine and I have wonderful detail retrieval. My post or reply was to point out that people with far more knowledge and experience, ie ste... | |
| Just added full LP playback Not to beat a dead horse, but here it is used on the classic sb turntable in the Positive feedback review. https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/hana-el-moving-coil-cartridge/ | |
| Just added full LP playback From stereophile:The Hana EL's compliance of 10 x 10–6cm/dyne appeared to perfectly match the effective mass of my SME M2-9 tonearm ($1099), the combination exhibiting a moderate resonance at 9.5Hz. The EL tracked everything on Shure's Era IV Audi... | |
| Just added full LP playback The tonearm on the pro-ject the classic has an effective mass of 13.5 grams, so medium mass. It is not too light for the hana cartridge. I run the EL version on the classic and it sounds great. I do agree, the hardware that comes with the hana’s (... | |
| Art Blakey experts please ... ? A Night in Tenusia is another great Blakey lp. | |
| My first Turntable... need some suggestions please For a bit more money and worth it, I'd have a look at the pro-ject X1. Mike Fremer reviewed it and he thinks it's a fine table. I believe it's either $799 or $899, but again worth spending the extra $300 or so bucks to get a better budget table. | |
| Which budget turntable will provide me the best service? I'd take a look at the Thorens TD-203. It has a tonearm usually found on much more expensive tables. Originally $999, but can now be had for about $579 via Rutherford Audio. | |
| turntable recommendations The music hall mmf-9.3 in walnut with the Goldring Eroica lx cartridge is a beautiful table. About $2500-2700. | |
| Do I need a Phono Cable? A low capacitance per meter cable is the best, as well as good shielding. Phono cables are a specific cable and intended for that purpose. They are constructed differently than a regular interconnect. It would not hurt to swap in an affordable pho... | |
| Advice on CD transport The Marantz hd cd-1 is a steal at current prices. It is compact, beautiful with the wood sides, and it works wonderfully as a cd transport. The headphone amp built in is also very good. Music direct had it @$399. It is a $600 player. Marantz are w... | |
| A real "wake up call" available to most....High End Audio vs. Mainstream...... You can get good deals by stroke of luck. Bought brand new tannoys at a used price due to salesman screw up. Also got terrific deals on ebay from well known sellers of audio gear. An integrated amp $1000 off just because it was a return within 30 ... | |
| Pondering a change after 30 odd years... If you don't mind placing them on stands, I'd recommend the Tannoy legacy eatons. They are a rather "large" stand mount speaker. Beautifully built and sound fantastic. | |
| Thoughts on my speaker selection? What?? No Tannoys?? | |
| Wanting to get back into the hobby and want to start with the speakers. Buy some Tannoys, like right now! | |
| Turntable Upgrade question.. In that budget range I'd go for the Thorens td 203 with tp 82 unipivot tonearm. Rutherford's is practically giving it away. Yes, it comes with a thorens tas 257 mm cartridge, but the arm could easily handle, with aplomb, a $1K cartridge easily. Re... |
