I wanted to share a recording I made of Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes on UHQR vinyl

d to showcase the sound quality and character of my analog playback system. The goal is to give fellow vinyl and hi-fi enthusiasts an impression of how this setup reproduces the music from the original record.

Playback Chain:
White Stripes Elephant UHQR (45 RPM 200 Gram)
Product No.: AUHQR 0019-45
Cartridge: Hana Umami Red
Headshell: DS Audio HS-001
Turntable: Technics SL-1200G
Phono Stage: Gold Note PH-10 + Gold Note PSU-10
Preamplifier: McIntosh C2700
Tascam DA-3000SD

The Hana Umami Red's exceptional detail retrieval, combined with the stability of the Technics SL-1200G and the musicality of the Gold Note and McIntosh electronics, delivers a presentation rich in texture, dynamics, and atmosphere. From powerful drum impacts and deep bass lines to the intricate layers of guitars and vocals, this setup aims to capture the energy and emotion pressed into the grooves.

This upload is intended solely as a demonstration of the sound of this analog system and for the enjoyment of fellow music and audio enthusiasts.

Enjoy the music and happy listening! 🎶🎵

Bought one of my dream cartridges a couple of weeks ago…
Really happy with how it’s working out in the set-up.
This Koetsu Rosewood Standard pairs really well with my FR-14 tonearm. Sounds balanced, disappears and puts the music forward instead of drawing attention to itself.

I had the Kenwood DP990 which is supposed to be the better model, i couldnt tell the difference so I sold it and bought this and pocketed £500 in the process. Its one of the heaviest mass production turntables ive eber own and sounds pretty good

My old Saidi SD-20.

Mounted the P77 tonearm on my PTP5 Lenco again. Cleaned the entire arm from start to finish, put new wiring into the screaning can and headshell. Cartridge on the P77 is an old SPU. New cantilever with a nude elliptical diamond. Very happy to get it running again.

The second headshell houses a Denon DL102 for mono duty.

The other arm is an FR24. At the moment it’s got an Ortofon MC10 mk2. Sounds more politely compared to the SPU.

Took a couple of years because of renovations to the house…

Pro-ject evo II yellow or green?
