+1 For the Hana SL or its big brother, the ML. There are simply no better values in MC carts. And if you don't want to mess with MC preamps, Hana offers the SH and MH high output versions.
Going from MM to MC
I have a linn table with an akito2 arm I just replaced the preamp with a rogue rp7 and bought a pro ject phono box DS3B phono preamp. I am also going to get new phono cable from linn with the xlr ends on it. Right now I have an adikt on my table. I want to go to MC to get better detail and seperation. I have been researching Cartridges and have narrowed it down to 3 the linn Krystal the lyra delso or the ortofon quintet S black. My Lin repair person is trying to get me to go with the linn but I have herd the other 2 have better sound any advice.where to go or even a different one all together and why thank you Michael.

@jasonbourne71 ...It surprised me at the time....not the best MC, but it outdid the Stanton 681EE MM cart I had at the time... What really caught further imagination about the 10 was it could be run on 12vdc; there was a jack on the back of it (if memory isn't total trash....I even have my moments of doubt, just to speak potential truth to a vague concern of mine...and perhaps to verify that of others... ;)...) I could see an SL in a motorhome, happily playing en route...you could (and I did) pick it up and turn it over, upside down while playing....and not miss a note. Astounding....If you rotated it horizontally, it would 'wow'...but not skip.... The cart is near unobtainium these days...even in Japan....*sigh* |
