Very nice. Thanks!
Hana ML teamed with Pro-Ject 1Xpression carbon classic and Rega Aria
i have been in the process of upgrading my main system. I think my next upgrade is the phono cartridge.
I currently have a Ortofon 2M bronze and am looking to upgrade to a quality mid priced MC. My research seems to point to the necessity of pairing tonearm, cartridge and phono preamp. I picked the Hana ML based upon Steve Hoffman ‘The Big Moving Coil Cartridge Poll - $1000 to $1300’, then reading reviews of the top cartridges on that list. Looking for a neutral, quality sounding MC cartridge. My pro-ject model has the 8.6 cc Evolution tonearm. I know I will need a new counter weight. The phono cable is Mogami 2549, 1.5’ to phono preamp, so very low capacitance.
My equipment:
Pro-ject 1Xpression carbon classic
Ortofon 2M bronze
Rega Aria
Marantz 7015 AVR
LSA Warp 1 amp (driving fronts)
KEF R11s
KEF R2C
IsoAccoustics Aperta center stand
Klipsch KSW 12 (left over… next to go)
Mirage nanosat rears (also left over)
Mirage unit-theater (using 2 channel for Dolby rear height)
Bluesound Node
Schiit Modi multibit 2 DAC
Qobuz
Transparent + speaker cables
Mogami 2549 interconnects - with a few core power mixed in
Thoughts on upgrading my system with the Hana ML? Any other recommendations? Thank you
