| Zavfino @juanmanuelfangioii thanks for posting your initial thoughts. Looking forward to your opinion on these cables after about 100hrs or so…that is usually a good milestone in determining whether or not the cables meet your expectations. | |
| Need advice for a replacement phono cartridge Man that sucks!!!! A cover for your VPI would be a wise investment when you get a new cart. | |
| Update on my TT causing distortion at higher volume Mofi UltraDeck. Hana ML. Sutherland KC Vibe MkII phono stage. Pass Labs pre and amp. You can check my system if you click on details under my User ID. I just recently stepped up from Hana EL to the ML model and the improvement was not subtle. | |
| Update on my TT causing distortion at higher volume @cinqcepages The E-Glo Petite has settings to accommodate pretty much any cartridge. You forgot to include Moving Iron type cartridge. Soundsmith is pretty popular now although I only heard one model and it wasn’t in my system. Buying two mediocre... | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? Cool. Let us know what you end up with. | |
| Update on my TT causing distortion at higher volume Hana EL or SL. If you can go higher in budget go for Hana ML. Either cartridge set up correctly will improve your listening experience with the ML taking it to new heights. I recommend getting a good protractor such as Dr. Feichert new generation. | |
| Phono Stage Gain - how does it impact sound? @lalitk not sure yet anything is possible :) need to get something that’s on the level with the rest of my gear. Benchmark is great by way and it won’t be easy to beat it. | |
| Dvorak Cello Concerto I’m going to listen to Starker and compare. So far du Pre is my reference for Dvorak and Elgar. | |
| Dvorak Cello Concerto How about Jacqueline du Pre with Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony? How does her interpretation compare to your reference? | |
| Best "Budget" / "bang for my buck" 2-channel amp and speakers can I get new? Rogue integrated. Although it has a built in phono stage that is decent by the way but probably won’t be a match with your external phono. Made in PA. Great value. Find an efficient speaker within your budget. Klipsch, Zu Audio are few examples. | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? Rega P2 is an easy recommendation. I had the P2 and it’s a solid table. A bit above your budget if you can stretch it. If you choose to buy new I suggest getting it from Upscale Audio and have them either mount whatever cartridge you decide to get... | |
| Zavfino @juanmanuelfangioii please share your thoughts once you get it. @thyname 1.5m is a bit too long - have a cable mess already just like most of us. But yes something to consider for sure | |
| MoFi controversy Sounds like a lot of assumptions were made by the consumers and those assumptions weren’t correct. Not defending MoFi by any means, they could’ve been a bit more transparent. But the bottom line is the sound quality is superb. The prices are highe... | |
| Phono Stage Gain - how does it impact sound? Update…the new Hana ML is settling in nicely. The bass is not so much a concern anymore. I’ve played a lot of records so far and am massively impressed with the sound quality. Looks like the break in is a thing with this cartridge and more so than... | |
| McCormack DNA 125 @soix Synergy was the first aspect I talked about it just didn’t make to the snippet you used here. But regardless… Think about this…the stock 0.5, 125 and 225 sounded amazing, the X250.5 fit right in. However the modded 225 didn’t gel with the re... |
