SME 20/2 Tonearm Ground Wire: Where in the table should be connected?
Much appreciated !  
SME 20/2 Tonearm Ground Wire: Where in the table should be connected?
Hi @boothroyd  Above you wrote: The second ground spade in the phono cable loom is simply to engage the shielding - it’s the two wires exiting the RCA rears joined together. I typically prefer this connection left hanging (not attached) unless no... 
Shindo Masseto w Koetsu .3mv output

Phono Cartridge Purchase from Asia?
For the years that he has been selling here, surely there would be a few complaints if he wasn't solid?

Well done, the Philips are very close to top of the hill!Good that you will first do the PSU/rectifier before you do more rolling, especially because rolling rectifiers is another adventure! I wouldn't worry about Siemens, I don't believe they can...

Cartridge suggestions for SME Turntable
Maybe add comments about what you wish to improve on vs. the sound you get from the Hana.  
Cartridge suggestions for SME Turntable
Some of the carts recommended here are over $5kWould have thought the gain structure of the phono amp chain is an important factor in choosing a cart. Cant figure what SUT/head amp you have, I believe your preamp has MM input? DAGOGO had a good re...
