| Phono Cartridge for $1,000. The Hana SL is fantastic and a definite step up from the Virtuoso. I haven't heard the ML yet, but would expect it to be better. If you can stretch your budget a little, The Kiseki Blue is even better than the Hana SL or the Virtuoso (which I al... | |

| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes So far so good. When I have a new pair of tubes that work properly, then I'll consider them a stand up dealer :) | |

| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes If you have issues with the 1578's, your first course of action should be to contact the seller. I'd avoid trying things like re-soldering unless you can't get satisfaction from the seller, or you don't care about taking a loss if you're unable t... | |

| Harbeth Super HL5 plus Break-in I didn't notice the stands being used. Open stands are often recommended for Harbeths (although not in their user guide) because the cabinet contributes to the sound, or at least that seems to be the overwhelming consensus based on what I've read... |
