I have read and heard very good things about the Hana MC cartridge; I may try it when my stylus in the vintage Audio Technica AT15ss gives up. It's a 1975 vintage super shibata top of the line in it's day MM. I was told by some guys in the know that I should not waste any money on a fancy MC right now as the improvement would be marginal; just wait until the stylus is worn out (it's a NOS original I picked up a few years ago).
My TT is a VPI Ares3 with the superplatter option which I picked up used for a deal. I found a SME Series IV used also for a deal. I custom mounted a set of 4 of the SVS Isofeet from their subwoofers to the Ares3 vs. using the stock aluminum pointed cones which were useless at isolating vibration feed back, the isofeet really work great! No feed back no matter how loud I play the system.
My previous TT was the vintage Marantz 6300 which is a beauty, but it cannot compare to the new set up. I guess I'll have to sell it.
