Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary
The Hana SL is a great cartridge for its price, much better than my Nagaoka MP500.  The Hana SL sounds better than my much more expensive Van Den Hul MC Two special on my Technics SL 1200 MK2.I appreciate chakster's insights and experience trying ...

Tidal/OPPO streaming issue
The Lumin app kind of sucks.  If you want to play an album, long press on the title, than a sub menu will pop up giving you the option to play all (an arrow with lines below it).I've been using BubbleUpNP.  I think it's about 5 bucks for the versi...

I don't have any knowledge of whether KI was involved with the Marantz TT-15S1, but would be surprised if he did.  Maybe the design of the plinth?  By all accounts, it's a rebadged Clearaudio Emotion.  I owned the Emotion and it's a very nice tabl...
