So, I swapped out the wonderful Goldring E3 cartridge for a Hana ML moving coil. The Hana is glorious ... if the record is perfectly flat. Any warp and the cartridge body contacts the vinyl. Very bad. Adjusting the Denon DP45f's servo tracer tone arm looks like it'll be a challenge. If I am unable to adjust the arm (VTA) then I'll either put the E3 back or put a Shure V15 III with a Jico stylus, or a NOS in box Shure M97 which I got on ebay from Argentina. Sure am looking forward to hearing that one some day.
The sound quality of the Hana ML is really wonderful! I played Stevie Ray Vaughan's 'Tin Pan Alley,' and it knocked my socks off. I have added the HSU VT-F Mk5 sub and it fills the bottom octave that the Harbeth 30.2's can't reach. Kind of glorious.
