| Speedboost or other lps for Hagerman Trumpet MC Sorry, 7025 are Sylvania not Raytheon. Spiral filiment low noise non-microphonic made for Baldwin. | |
| Speedboost or other lps for Hagerman Trumpet MC Thanks, I have tried several variations. So far running Tele smooth plates in the v1, and a pair of Raytheon 7025 in the v2 (have another pair of Tele coming to try there. And a pair of Valvo (Siemens made) E82cc triple mica in v3. The Valvo r... | |
| Hana Umami Red review It is shocking how many very expensive cartridges are pretty far off in regard to qc. Interestingly, the Hana cartridges, even the less expensive ones are pretty good. | |
| Hana Umami Red review @lewm, sorry, I can’t be on this forum more often. As you discovered the Omega are powered subs (ss plate amps) signal pulled off of the same taps as the speakers from the Cayin. Works well. I bought the Umami red from Thom at Galibier design.... | |
| Speedboost or other lps for Hagerman Trumpet MC Sorry, spell check, jfets not jets. | |
| Speedboost or other lps for Hagerman Trumpet MC @mulvelimg, that is what I was getting at with my question. With the jets and the 555 chip. I couldn’t see how an external LPs could get around the internals in the unit. The external LPS would end up in a switching circuit to get the rail volt... | |
| Speedboost or other lps for Hagerman Trumpet MC I realize this, I am probably not using the right terminology here. The jfet front end in the Hagerman Trumpet MC uses a (I believe) 555 chip ad an oscillator. So if there is this kind of "switching" device in the Trumpet, what good is an extern... | |
| Hana Umami Red review Now at about 65 hours. Have not noticed much change after 50 hours. This cartridge is just magic. Everything posted previously is still true and only improvement is noted. Imaging has settled in and not smearing at all. Tracking perfect, very... | |
| Hagerman Trumpet MC review I have not looked at this post for a while. Sorry so late with response. No need for matched quad, though I did opt for matched pairs. Another thing I have noticed is that if your tubes are microphonic, and most older tubes are to at least some... | |
| Hana Umami Red review Just an update. No about 35 hours on the Red. It continues to improve. The sound stage is wider that I remember at first. It might be a little more smeary but hard to tell, some records imaging seems improved others less so. Dynamics are impro... | |
| Hana Umami Red review @tooblue and @lewm. I completely agree, that is why I noted where I was in the process. I plan to update as time goes on. At 20 hours sounds great still. I think Hana recommends a 50 hour burn in. It would be interesting if others have some e... | |
| Hana Umami Red review The surface noise is very quiet on new or really good condition older records. If there is damage you will hear it but it passes quickly and generally does not distract. Agreed on the early review, I will post an update to see what changes over... | |
| Hana Umami Red review Another note, the QC report referred to here is from Thom. He checks every cartridge using Analog Magik and Feikert software for VTA and azimuth before he ships and send you a full report on what he found and how to mount for best set up for thos... | |
| Hana Umami Red review Sorry, should be Zyx Ultimate Airy. | |
| Nottingham spacedeck belt For the person who pmed me, I am not able to find a source for a replacement belt. No one anywhere will sell me one because they say there is a us distributor and the us distributor is moving and was not able to sell me one. Luckily, when cleani... |
