Age old discussion I know but MM or MC? Benefits?
I have both MM and MC cartridge. Not all records sounds good with MC. That's the reason I have both to eliminate any weakness in my system. MM does sound better with rock. But not all jazz sounds good with MC either. I don't like classical music s... 
For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp?
Tube amp since that's where your speaker is directly connected to.  
Manley Neo Classic N250 Mono Blocks
It's worth every penny IMHO 
Should there be concern?
Gillatgh,IMHO stay away from those sellers, even those with 100% ratings. Here's an example of what I'm talking about. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/turntables-new-played-less-than-an-hour-2017-10-02-analog-a3669882... 
Should there be concern?
I notice lots of ridiculous post suggesting new, then on the other end states limited use or low hours. If the box is open, its used! The buyer wouldn't know if its low hours or a millions hours.  
Synergistic Research HFT's
Thank you Davidpritchard and Oregonpapa. I agree, those who couldn't hear the difference might either be the system doesn't have the resolving ability or maybe just too old for their ears to do so. The same could be said for those who think cables... 
Synergistic Research HFT's
Oregonpapa,I was amazed by the demo at Axpona2016. Bought the Atmosphere, Black Box, HFT, HFT-X and HFT2.0 The first test I did in my room is the Black Box. Bass is tighter with it. Then I added the HFT-X on the speakers and center of front wall b... 
Synergistic Research Upgrades
I use HFT-X on top and front of speakers and one in the middle of the front wall between speakers. HFT2.0 on both side of the speakers and 1 on the bottom wall under the HFT-X and 2 on the back wall 8' up on each sides. Regular HFT 5' and 8' up on... 
Synergistic Research Upgrades
Hi Folkfreak,You're absolutely right. Combined traditional room treatment with modern tech opens up the sound. Made my room sound larger. I also forgot to mention I have 4 bass traps 1 on each corner. Here is the link to my sound check:https://m.y... 
Synergistic Research Upgrades
I was told the same thing. UEF dots and panels doesn't work with HFT. I still bought the HFT, HFT 2.0, HFT-X, Atmosphere mid tower and Black Box since I already have GIK acoustic panels and sound diffusor in my room. 
HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?
I believe this thread to be about business ethics. It's just some Hegel owners couldn't accept the fact they got duped. Instead of seeing this as a logical conversation, some view it as a personal attack on their system which isn't. 
Tannoy?
Scott,I am simply addressing my opinion to the OP to which I do not understand why you find it so offensive. People like you think you're such a saint that no one should ever disagree with you. WTF is that? Dictatorship or Communism? Sidebar - I d... 
Tannoy?
I have the Tannoy Kensington GR that is the best bang for the buck IMHO. Never liked any speakers that is cost double the MSRP. They do have a unique signature sound that is unlike other speakers. Sorry, but I disagree that they sound like any oth... 
Would frequency response of cartridge determine purchase?
I believe I have mentioned this in here before that Clearaudio is on the brighter side. Some people embraced it but some despise it. This all comes down to personal preference and taste.  
Maurice White of Earth, Wind and Fire passes away
