    Question Hana SL + Technics SL1210mk2 + ? SUT ?

    Today I’ve installed a new cartridge on my vinyl Techie system. I suggested that there must be any time tu burn in for a new cart. And here I ask you to advise me a more suitable Step Up Transformer (SUT) for this cart. In cart manual impedance is 30 Ohm and loading is more than 400 Ohm.

    Do you really want a SUT or would you try a headamp?

    Yes, I have already a pair of SUTs - Cinemag CMQEE-3440AH (25 dB/1:18) and Fidelity Research XG-5 (26 dB/1:20). And think about which one will be more suitable with this cart...

    Try both and see what happens, both should work but you may find a preference.

    How's it going? The Hana SL is a cartridge I'm considering for my next MC.

    It's only in beginning of burn in process. So all is well till now. Hope will be a progress in sound after burn in. I've read about recommends of nearly 50 hours of burn in for this cart.

    I think the burn in may be snake oil

    If the cart is set up correctly it will sound good , VTA ,Tracking weight , Azimuth ( if thats how you spell it )
    Also a proper clean record surface is needed , Get these right and Bingo two fat ladies

    Not really a burn in, but the suspension settling perhaps.

    Agree, most new cartridges need a period where the suspension loosens up/beds in. Though 50h is a bit long (120 sides!). 15-20h should do it. If it's not floating your boat by then, it's probably not going to change much.

    Agree with Al though that setup matters far more than break-in.
