    I just got my Hana ML last Saturday and I love it, I don’t have 10 hours yet approaching that now. Excellent upgrade over my Hana EH, Dynavector 10x5 and Denon 301 II. It makes you wonder how good the Hana Umani Red or Blue is.

    Hi Seattle. Man oh man is your system airy, spatial and life-like, just unbelievable! By the way, I did recognize the High Fidelity Cable MC-0.5 Power Conditioner. They are so amazing. I discovered them about four years ago.
    Be forewarned that they are like potato chips in that you can't stop with one. More magnetics equates with greater sound. Enjoy and have fun.

    • @vpconcepts9838
      @vpconcepts9838  3 года назад

      It's crazy Tony, for some reason it didn't like my power conditioners or something! I had to take it out and move it to a different outlets because it became to saturated and strangled the sound. It became very edgy sounding. My friend upgraded to an audience power conditioner and had to pull his MC-0.5 out too. I was totally bummed and so was he. Mine is for sale on Audiogon now. I will do a follow up video at a later date. You win some and you loose some in this hobby. Thank you very much for watching! 👌🎼✨

      @tonyharrison2542 3 года назад

      That's interesting. When I first installed mine, it was love at first sight. l was awe struck and loved it. However, after several days of listening, the sound began to take on a bright and edgy character. But, I stayed with it and over time (I think it was about 48 hours), the glorious sound returned and the bright edginess never returned. Go figure...

    Congratulations! Nice cart and sounding good man 👍. I just got a new cart as well , an Ortofon A90 , my dream cart and I finally got it ! . I also just got a New table a Nottingham, absolutely love it.
    P.S. if you don’t already have one you need an RCM and or an Ultrasonic cleaner.

      @@vpconcepts9838 I've just received notice from George Meyer AV that the amp is fixed. It took a long time for the techs to ferret out the cause of the static noise in the right channel. (It was a circuit board problem--excess solder making an errant connection.) But the mystery is now solved, so I hope to have the H30 back soon.

    Sounds great, I would love a Hana but unfortunately their weight is just too low @ 5 gms. for my low mass arm, SME Series III. I’m planning to make the jump to a MC as well with the Dynavector 20X2, it’s Wt. is 9.2 gms. Plan to slip a 3 gm. wafer of lead between the cartridge and head shell that will get me well within the resonance frequency. I have a decent phono preamp Pass Lass XP 15 so I should hear difference from my Grado moving iron. Love the McIntosh gear as well. 😎

    I want to get one of those, but unfortunately Audio Technica claims the noise floor on my turntable is too high to use any LOMC. If I could afford a real Technics 1200, this thing would be gone, but for right now, it's all I have.

      @MrNicks-gn8jc 3 года назад

      I had a VPI 16.5 and it was good, but loud. I decided to move to the Kirmuss....takes a lot of time, but when I say a THROUGHLY cleaned ultrasonic record puts you in MASTERTAPE territory IT IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH !!
      Go Kirmuss if you cannot go Degritter or if you have time to get that extra 5% clean........Degritter is all in one and it alone will PUZZLE YOU HOW GOOD VINYL CAN SOUND !!
      If I were to speak with vinyl playback practitioners, I would say get a decent LP front end (let's say $500 to $1000 for all parts) and then go FULL SPEED AHEAD ultrasonic cleaning machine and new inner/outer sleeves.....
      ....my conjecture is that a Kirmuss Ultrasonic restoration (with multiple rinses after the cleaning process is done [5-7]) would have given you more improvement than your WORTHY upgrade to the Hanna ML !!
