Reed tonearms are very natural sounding. Good choice.
Analog upgrade: Luxman EQ-500 Phono preamp + Hana Umami Red Cartridge + REED 2A Tonearm
As the resident analogue system is being restructured, I am thinking of joining these 3 components:
Luxman EQ-500 Phono preamp + Hana Umami Red Cartridge + REED 2A Tonearm
I would like to know if anyone here knows and recommends them and if, by any chance, have already heard some of these components together (or not).
I have a Portuguese handcrafted turntable "Rui Borges UNO MKII", a Luxman class integrated amplifier (L-590AXMKII) and KEF R11 speakers.
On the phono issue I didn't even hesitate, as I knew the brand very well before, and it was in the top of my preferences. As for the cell, my doubt lies the most. Given her price level, can I choose better?
I've been knowing for yers the other versions of the brand and I'm a fan of the sound characteristics. But on this one, the top of the range, I never heard before and I don't know it at all. And of course, it will be impossible to demo it.
Anyone knows how could be the relationship between Hana cartridge's with the REED tonearm? That also worries me a little as I'm not a technical expert in this matter.
Someone who knows Hana Umami (since she is recent)?
What are the pros and cons of this cell?
I listen to everything from heavy rock to jazz, acoustics, voices, blues, classical.
Thankyou for your best advice
Cheers
