| Grado Statement 1 Stickman451 - The Grado Statement is a fantastic cartridge designed to sound best at 47K. Anything else will detract from its magic. There's no way around it unless you are willing to accept less. | |
| Grado Statement 1 The Grado Statement 1 works best at 47K ohm.The Hovland HP-100 could originally be fitted optionally with either the MM or MC phono stage, not both. You have the MC phono stage installed which loads at 450 ohm, which Hovland thought was ideal for ... | |

| Sme new platter material??? Hai to you too. Just quoting the best SME dealer in the UK, noted on the website. The upgrade mentioned was to the 20 model table, not any particular arm. I have no details regarding the actual upgrade. Check with SME. | |
| Sme new platter material??? Jrmanders - I have heard through the grapevine that there will be a major upgrade to the model 20 this fall although I have not heard the particulars. Stay tuned. |
