The denon was like aw fuck no, not one of these things.
No doubt. I'm emailing the president of the company. I had some quality issues on the RCAs and he was really responsive in swapping them out. So they have some proven quality issues. Maybe this is another example. But yes there is delta on the wrong side of the bell curve sound wise.Haha I have no idea, maybe? That's really interesting though, I mean it definitely changed the sound!
1 point, AC cables affect sound.
I keep hearing over my shoulder-The denon was like aw fuck no, not one of these things.
Don’t knock it ‘till you try it. Super comfy, easy to put on slides, but you still keep your toes warm.I am FAR too vain to wear socks with sandals. I may be middle aged but I'm not dead.

Got the Leak hooked up. Definitely a bit less chunky than the old M6i was. Set up is screaming for a vintage speaker set now. Might need to start a Jbl L100 classic fund
I ended up ordering them from Peter Tyson. Picked up that L82s for just under a grand with Cashback taken in to account and managed to use a load of dormant audio affair points to get the stands cheapish. Worked out £1100 all in but had to settle for black grills. Its a tough life but at least they’ll hide the dog hair.I don’t know if this is any use to you but this store in Scotland has a big chunk off open boxes of the new black special editions of the L100s and L82s in a summer sale…
Grats! Hard to tell from the pics but it looks like you might have to use a shim to get your VTA correct. That cart shouldn't be ridding that low?So when I said the plan was to buy it while it’s still cheap and then wait until next year to mount it? Well I wasn’t do much lying to all of you as to myself…
The Hana has 22 months on it so I’m sure it was nearly time anyway! This sounds lovely already on the first side but it does ride very very low. It’s going to be a fun night going through my favourite records as a test!

That does sound like a PTIA. Curious to hear your feedback on how the cart sounds though.Perhaps. The tonearm isn’t perfectly flat with this one…
I did have a Grado woodie before that ran low too. I might look into shims but that would be a pain given how the tonearm screws to these tables from below and one of the screws is under the rca connection box…

I'll wait with baited breath for your shim addition, as I think I have to do it to mine as I went from the 2M Blue to the 540ML and have the acrylic platter which as I understand benefits from having the shim installed. Also, where did you get those cartridge thumb screws at? I'd LOVE to have them over the tiny screws that normally come with a cart.Yes so this sounds brilliant but it really is too low down, lower than the Grado even so I’ve ordered the shim, Amazon will have it with me next Thursday. Wish me luck!

Good to know. I have an older carbon too, so I may not have to do the shim after all. Phew. Good info on the screws. The reduced adjustment hassle alone is worth it, and I know the 540ML is a fairly light cartridge.I didn’t need the shim for my acrylic platter because I have the older debut carbon and it’s the same depth as the older metal platter plus the thicker mat they came with. For the newer pro and evo I gather it’s definitely needed.
Haha! Fuck willpower. Awesome cart. It definitely rides low, so I think level is the key.So when I said the plan was to buy it while it’s still cheap and then wait until next year to mount it? Well I wasn’t so much lying to all of you as to myself…
