WTB: Sensitive speaker- maybe dual concentric Tannoy
nzcuriousgeorge replied to The Fresh Prince's topic in Wanted to Buy
These were available in NZ, earlier this week. Tannoy Berkeley HPD, https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=2762256177&archive=1 -
My thinking was to play a long game. Could have gone P8 with a better cartridge but just wanted the P10 with the ceramic platter and especially RB3000 tonearm. Phono stage is MM only hence requirement for SUT to go MC.

My P10 is still sitting in a box. It's been about a month or so since purchased. Previously owned P25 then P7 and now P10. Had both P25 and P7 for about 10-12 years respectively. Had a bit of a brain explosion during NZ's COVID lock down and decided on wholesale changes to system. Anyway before anyone vomits into their mouth a little, I bought a P10 but couldn't stretch to Apheta 3 MC cart. Tried very hard to negotiate a good deal but just couldn't stretch the budget.

Recommended mm cartridge up to $800

I’ve been following this thread with interest as I only have MM phono stage. Any reason not to consider HOMC? For example, Hana SH? Are their disadvantages of HOMC vs MM? Or HOMC performance isn’t as good as their equivalent LOMC? -

Step Up Transformer - Advice/Recommendation Please
nzcuriousgeorge replied to nzcuriousgeorge's topic in Vinyl and Turntables
I meant I’ve never come across a head amp before, only knew of SUT to use with LOMC with MM phono stage. Unfortunately I didn’t manage to pull off a deal to land the Apheta 3. Hence looking at all options. -

It's somewhat back to the drawing board. Looking at more options now in terms of cart and SUT..
