@xagwell Glad you circled back with the update. I previously had a Purple Heart that I greatly enjoyed, but this week I have been breaking in a new Hana Umami Red. I am really enjoying it and look forward to it fully settling in. What helped you make this choice and how is it performing in your system?
Kiseki Purple Heart vs Clearaudio Stradavari
I am leaning heavily toward purchasing the Clearaudio Innovation Wood/Universal 9 Tonearm, of which I was able to audition with the Clearaudio Stradivari. It sounded wonderful but my heart was set on the Purple Heart which I have not heard, just hear people talk about it with such passion. Not that I don't trust my own ears I just appreciate feedback from the community if anyone has experienced a direct comparison.
