I know. I'm only looking for the stylus.

In general, I try to avoid buying from Great Britain. Since the country is now outside of the EU, the Swedish customs will add 25% VAT and fees. I used the wrong exchange rate though. Buying the stylus from the two sites below -- the first in the Netherlands, the second one in Germany -- costs...

I did find English sites with information about trad ins but none in Swedish. I will try to visit my dealer tomorrow and ask how they handle that part in general. (That would also give me an opportunity to compare a Hama cartridge with a Nagaoka.) I have to admit I'm more interested in the Hama...

I can now respond with some experiences from replacing the turntable cable. I finally went for the Chord Shawline X with an angled DIN connector. I use the same cable model between my amplifier and loudspeakers and am very pleased with the way it opens up the sound. (If you have the budget for...

Hello again. Here's a late reply to your posting: I've recently discovered the Hana SH and I agree that is a tempting cartridge. So is also some of Nagaoka's models, which implements the "moving iron" technique -- same as the Goldring 2500 -- which means a lower mass than "moving magnet". Most...

This Friday I visited a HiFi store to listen to my kind of speaker (Canton Reference 5) together with a subwoofer of their choice. I decided to listen to som classical organ music since that usually contains some subtle bass tones. The two subs they recommended were JL Esub E112 and Rel S510...

I started of course with an upgrade of the cartridge. Went for the Goldring 2500, which I could buy for a reduced price since it is discontinued. The improvement was significant, even though this is a (kind of) MM. The reason I’m still considering an upgrade of the cable is the noticeable...

Hi, I'm considering upgrading the tonearm cable on my Linn Basic turntable. I've upgraded some of the other cables in my setup, with great result, and now time has come to the vinyl component. I have limited the scope to these two (it has to be the angled DIN-connector) and wonder if anyone has...

I know what you’re trying to say but I’m keeping an open mind 😉

Hi again, Thanks for your generous recommendations. Your first message made me recall the importance of speaker cables. Even though I find the current Supra cables quite good, I haven't actually given them a match by comparing them with something else. So, the reason I haven't replied until now...

The amplifier is the Rega Elicit Mk V, so the power is sufficient . The room is probably 40 m2 but unfortunately it is U-shaped (it has a dividing wall) with the speakers standing at each side of the opening in the U-turn. It would be better to put them against the far outer wall, but this is...

I purchased the loudspeakers second hand and would never have bought them at their price as new. The amplifier I bought as new, for a slightly higher pricer than the speakers. So, in short: I didn't want to spend more. But I did compare the Rega with two other amplifiers, within roughly the same...

Is the Rega Elicit amplifier an alright pairing with the Canton Vento Reference 5 speakers? If not, then which amplifier would you suggest?
