+1 for the Hana! Excellent SQ and reasonably priced! No need to spend $4K!
Technics SL1210GAE + Accuphase E-480 (AD-50) + ??? (cartridge)
Looking for some great cartridge options for the Technics SL1210GAE (stock) and the Accuphase E-480 with the AD-50 phonostage. The challenge I see is that many options like the Kiseki Purpleheart seems to want higher loading than the AD-50 is capable of (300ohms, max). I'm looking to spend up to $4000 for a cartridge that sounds amazing. Using Magico S5 MkII speakers.
I like authoritative bass, but a really airy midrange and treble that has a clear "ease" to it. I like my midrange "painted" in front of me instead of coming at me. I had heard the Purpleheart was great that way, but I'd prefer not to get into separate phonostages for a second system, hence the use of the AD-50.

Try ART1000, this is very interesting new design inspired by Victor Direct Couple models. |
Dear @tre9901 : Hanna is very good but the Audio Technica ART-9XA is a huge challenge not only to that Hanna but for any top cartridge.: https://www.audio-technica.com/en-us/cartridges/line-series/art-series/at-art9xa Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS, R. |
