Nice. Thanks so much. That's great to hear on this, as it's on my list. That list seems to be getting longer daily. Not sure if anyone else has that problem around here. :) Was just reading about the Clarity Vinyl history. Sounds like that's not a gimmick and is the real deal then? Thanks.

I have been looking at buying Peter Gabriel's Passion on vinyl. Anyone know if this is a good print of the ST: https://www.ebay.com/itm/267232703469?itmmeta=01JT25X2KTNGG3QCCP7KYVR7CT&hash=item3e384f73ed%3Ag%3A8LAAAOSwY3RmGwSy&LH_Auction=1 I am not familiar with this shop you posted, but I...

I did some testing last night with my wife and tried 200ohms, 400ohms, and 1000ohms on multiple records to test the output at the different impedance levels. In all testing we made sure to keep the volume at the same levels for each impedance setting for each song being tested. My wife and I...

Thanks for this great breakdown, and the advice. This actually helped a lot, and in the end I think you are right. I am way over-obsessing about "getting it right," when I probably should just sit down and enjoy it for a while. I am still learning how to use my new gear. This is pretty...

From what I have been reading that was my concern too. I generally don't like overactive highs when playing music. It tends to fatigue my ears after a short amount of time. I'll give it a go and A/B it with 400ohms/1000ohms and see where I land. Thanks for the feedback though. Helps to...

Yeah, makes total sense. My friends always tell me I prefer too much bass emphasis in my music sound, which I do. So I am currently trying to curtail it now for better sound, but my general preference is I love to hear the bass. So I hear what you're saying about personal preference playing a...

Thanks so much for the great feedback. I will try this tonight. I was going to mess with adjustments on the turntable over the weekend but ended doing some cabling upgrades, and finalizing some of the settings on my music streamer. It's slowly getting dialed in, but is taking some time...

Thanks for the response. I have verified the specific gain settings for the applicable phono input so I think I am good. It is at the highest setting of 64dB, but based on your post and @OMC there is no distortion or degradation of the sound so I think i am good. As an aside, it's been...

Thanks so much for the great response. Sounds like I am heading in the right direction at this point. To your point about the gain, you are right that is the highest setting on the C55. I messed around with listening to the same material for a while and found that it sounded best to me. My...

Hello all - Newb question here on setup of Hana SL MK II MC cartridge and what people would recommend for settings. I haven't had a turntable for decades, and the type of equipment I am using now is very new to me, so I have a few questions to verify setup and what others might recommend...

I have the Technics 1200GR2. Just got it, so still working through everything and putting it together. Been a lot of fun though. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, as I am still waiting for my amps and preamp to arrive.

Thanks for the response. I ended up going with a Hana SL MK 2 cartridge for now, based on where I purchased the table. I will probably continue to look down the road if I find it's not to my liking. Hopefully it works well though. It gets great reviews.

Thanks for the advice. I just bought one that is Technics branded for my 1200GR2. Hopefully it works well. If nothing else, the bronze/gold look of it should pop off of the black of the TT.

Thanks for the advice. I ended up finding a Technics weight that goes well with the 1200GR2.
