The turntable has been absolutely stable so should sound good using your Hana cartridge. I have all the cartridge setup tools ready to go. See you Friday morning before the start of the show. 🙂

Official website
This year, our agents will be exhibiting at the event.

This time we have the SV-EQ1616D, SV-310, and SV-S1645D. The 1645D (45 single) is an overseas exclusive model, and the SV-310 is being offered for the first time.

In America, where analog is more popular than in Japan, there are many brands in circulation that are not introduced in Japan. This is the PBN DP-80 model, which is being demoed with our products. Speaking of which, out of the total 212 brands on display at this year's LA show, it seems that there are about 10 Japanese brands on display.
Sorry to hear that! So you didn't make it down here (to Southern California) at all? I skipped this year's show, but looking forward to Burning Amp in Petaluma in October. Your amp kits would actually fit in there; maybe something to think about...
The Turntable is part Japanese product, the table itself is a Denon DP-80 purchased on eBay from Japanese supplier, then Paul of PBN audio using my piece of Zebra wood and tach, and his heavy cast aluminum plinth top created the table, He is a master in wood and electronics. The Hana Blue phono cartridge is Victors, a few minutes of setup to install and it was sounding great, The Hana Cartridge is a good match for the SME V tonearm, would be my first choice is I didn't already have the Koetsu Rosewood Signature cartridge in my system.
I have one of Victors phono preamps from the show to listen to in my system, looking forward to that as soon as I have time.
