Thinking about a Hana ML, and also changing the head shell.How does one go about determining if that will all work with my old SAEC WE317 tone arm? And does that Hana ML seem like a good way to go? I currently have a Blue Point Special which is ~15 years old.
OP, i recall you are also on Vandy site Steve E there has a Bluepoint and can comment on age, etc. I have a Hana ML it is a bit polite, w my phono ( Herron ) a smooth performer.
@chakster … like a moron, I forgot to mention I have a lathe… so that instagram page is perfect. Worn out in suspension? Or worn out in stylus? (It has not been used at all in the last 5 years or so… for a variety of reasons… none good.)
@tomic601 what do you mean by a bit polite? (Maybe I should call? - I have the number in a PM, but it must be getting late there.)
You can count, every stylus can be used for certain amount of hrs, it depends on the stylus profile. If your cantridge was stored for 5 years - no problem, but there are still 10 more years before that. If you don’t like the sound it might be a worn stylus (it can be inspected under the microscope by SoundSmith or someone else for $30).
