| What to listen for? @mickeyb LOL | |
| Is my stylus miss-tracking? @mijostyn @viridian @elliottbnewcombjr thank you for the ideas. Everyone else too. I will make sure everything is level, VTF, VTA, Azimuth, and antiskate are correct. If I can’t figure it out I’ll track out to my dealer. Appreciate all your ... | |
| Is my stylus miss-tracking? @viridian thanks for the ideas. I’ll try swapping the cable at the preamp. The stylus is only about a month or two old. (Hana ML) | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions How is a Clearaudio table not on your list? I scored a Clearaudio Ovation with Magnify tonearm preowned for $7k. Sounds absolutely incredible and looks amazing too! | |
| Two powered subs with bookshelf speakers or two floor-standing speakers? I’ve often considering going from two stand mounts, two subs (current setup) to two floor standers, two subs but I hesitate because my current setup sounds absolutely amazing as is and I also like having one of the two subs as a near field sub, ju... | |
| Cartridge or tonearm problem? @islandmandan could have swore I checked interconnects before getting the new cartridge. But just to be sure, I just swapped with some old ones. YUP! It was a bad interconnect. Problem solved. I should have tried that before posting. Thank you! Th... | |

| Phono Cartridge Purchase from Asia? @mulveling Thanks! I pulled the trigger on the Benz Zebra L. You recommended it to me a couple months back in a different thread. I’m replacing a Hana SL. Looking forward to hearing it! | |
| Phono Cartridge Purchase from Asia? @lloydc thats a good question. I can’t seem to figure how to identify the seller either | |
| Phono Cartridge Purchase from Asia? @fuzztone Excellent. I will look into that. Thank you! | |
| Phono Cartridge Purchase from Asia? @saburo interesting. Good to know. Thanks! | |
| Phono Cartridge Purchase from Asia? Yeah I’m leaning towards not risking it. Running the Hana SL now. Really like it but it’s nearing the end of its life and I’d like to try something different. I have it in my mind that I want a wood bodied cartridge this time. Maybe it’s the aesth... | |
| Balance control? @bimmerman2 wow really?! That’s very cool. Yeah Keith is a very helpful and pleasant guy to chat with. What are trim pots? Are they different from the loading plugs? |
