Those were great little units! But iPhone only.

I didn't realize the table sat INSIDE the box. I was thinking it was like the SkyFi Audio ones that kind of sit on top of the unit. This is much better. You could even go crazy and add some more isolation materials in there if you wanted to.

This looks great. I rarely am impressed by features that are purely for aesthetics, but this really looks fantastic. I assume it doesn't interfere with cable runs? This is very smart and simply isolation. Great set up.

Thank you both! I think I'm going to email the shop where I originally purchased the Ultradeck and see what he'd charge to do it as well. Honestly, if he'll do it for under $100, I might do that for pure peace of mind.

I'm only sorry because @Dirtbag Auntie introduced me to this thread with the best intentions. I will see myself out.

Welp, I failed. Got a great offer on a NIB Hana ML. So either I just got scammed, or I've got a cartridge upgrade on the way. But now it's seriously back to saving. I just discovered the RigidRack line of racks from butcher block acoustics and I am in love! We have been working on making the...

Yes, and that's what I do. I'm just glad to have met others who have decided to chase the other format options and allowed me to hear it along the way :)

My main argument this is that plenty of credible folks also don't speak highly of cables, certain room treatments, isolation platforms, high end turn tables, or many other hifi elements. I'm not trying to prove or disprove any of those with this comment, and I don't want to take away from either...

I don't know all the details on your other questions, but I know the answer to this is yes - absolutely delicate. When I have seen someone handle a lacquer, they wore gloves and did not open it until it was just about to hit the TT. Remember, I'm not talking in comparison to records. I just...

Think of it like any other form of making a copy. A standard vinyl record goes like this: tape > lacquer > stamper > vinyl So a copy, of a copy of a copy. And it's using that stamper to print multiple vinyl pressings, so in theory the first press with a fresh stamper will sound better than...

A good reel to reel is truly amazing. And a decent deck isn’t that much in some cases. But sourcing good tape, setting it up, etc. ooof. It’s a lot. Whenever I’m even remotely considering it though, I just compare it to vinyl. $500 tape, or 4 one step vinyls, or 10-12 brand new records, or...

I do still have a set of BJC RCAs kicking around. I should plug them in again at some point just for kicks.

Appreciate it! I've started watching for a used one, and I've seen the eBay ones as well. My main concern with the eBay ones would be QC. They may very well be coming out of the same factory. But they also could be units that didn't get or worse did pass QC. But I might also be overthinking it.

I'd love to hear some thoughts on the Geodisc vs the Fieckert. I'm considering just skipping the Geodisc and going straight to Fieckert.

I'm surprised by that description. That's not how I feel about the MT at all. Part of my hesitation has always been that I very much enjoy the sound that I'm getting right now. I'm assuming the Sutherland 20/20 will be up to the task.

Not the same, but I'd love the feedback. Not sure why my brain has been so resistant to moving to MC for so long.

Can we get a roll call of people that went from MasterTracker to Hana ML? Would love as much feedback as you're willing to give, pros, cons, setup, whatever.

Thank you for this. Details were great. Car analogy was great. Knowing you changed carts with the table is helpful too. Now I'm thinking I may chase the cartridge dragon before the TT dragon. Still with the UD and keep working on my cable foundation (which I'm sure some people think is crazy).

I feel like I should pass on both. Stick to my guns.

Answer to your question above. Here’s the hard specifics 1.2m - seller wants $550+tax and shipping 2m - seller wants $400+ PayPal fees and shipping. The 2m is obviously a better deal, but I’m just debating if I jump on it or continue to hold out for a 1m option. (I’m sure one will come up...
