| MM, MC, or MI cartridge I guess I’ll have to choose between whether I want sonic thrills or just okay sound with the majority of my collection. I do have a lot of great sounding records. Ordinarily I listen to streaming. I can spend my analog time now with my good record... | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge Well, I’ve been playing the Hana cartridge continuously for several days in a row and I’ve accumulated about 50 hours of use on it. Time for a new assessment. It certainly is an accurate cartridge. I’m hearing details I’ve never heard before.... | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge One thing is for certain, digital is much more consistent sounding than analog. Every record seems to have a different sonic quality. | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge Lalitk, it’s starting to sound like you’re right. It’s opening up with orchestral music. It’s amazing how much of a part breaking plays. I wouldn’t have believed how much. | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge I’m doing my best to follow that ideal. A word on the cartridge, though. After about 30 hours, It really shines in vocals, small ensembles and especially jazz. It still hasn’t really opened up with orchestral recordings. I’m hoping after 50 hours... | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge “…just listening to the music… to see if you get engaged with it, is the best way to evaluate it.” Exactly the ideal. | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge One thing that I have reaffirmed is that digital and analog are not nearly so far apart sonically as they once were. The gap is much smaller. Digital has really come a very long way. | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge newbee, I totally agree that digital is unlimited in capacity and enjoyment. In the past couple of years I’ve gotten my digital setup to where I want it, and it sounds great. I’ve been enjoying streaming and the SQ it provides a great deal. BUT... | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge I think I made a great choice too. The only problem is that when you get new equipment you go into analytic mode and stop listening to the music, which is deadly. Every record I put on is analyzed for SQ. No way to live. I hope to convince mys... | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge Yes, I know. | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge Well, I just got the Hana ML. I’ve tried it out on a few sides. After some initial muddiness, it came to life. I know it won’t show it’s true character for a while. But even now, I hear crisper highs, more detail, deeper bass and a very pleas... | |
| Dvorak Cello Concerto Maurice Gendron was one of the greatest cellists of the 20th century. ‘His tone was pure gold, his technique flawless, and his taste impeccable. His recordings of the unaccompanied Bach Suites, Beethoven cello Sonatas and especially his melting pe... | |
| A light-hearted essay on loving music vs the audiophilia obsession Excellent piece! Very well written. In my case I was a classical pianist who had a hi-fi loving friend. Long story, short, he influenced me , and I soon became more interested in the sound than the music. I couldn’t believe the fact that I wasn’t ... | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge Well, the day has finally come. My Hana ML cartridge should be installed tomorrow. Will report on it soon. | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge Will certainly do. |
