The turntables from Music Hall have long ceased to be an insider’s tip and have earned an excellent reputation among the relevant circles. Therefore, we are very happy to have the record players in our program now and would like to introduce them, as well as the manufacturer itself, in more detail here.
In our latest video, Jochen introduces two new additions to our phono selection: The turntables Music Hall mmf-5.3 and mmf-9.3. The main question is what makes the Music Hall devices so special? We are expecting another model of the series soon.
Today we are dealing with the adjustment of the tonearm support force on turntables. On most models, this is done directly on the tonearm weight using the scaling. But there are also turntables that do not have such a scale and therefore we explain using the example of the Pro-Ject RPM 1 Carbon how in this case the adjustment is done with the help of a tonearm scale.
So that we can advise you comprehensively and are always up to date, we also have regular training. This time Melanie Groetsch from Clearaudio visited us. She introduced us to the new Concept Plus turntable, went in for the wonderful Ovation and finally made reference to the upcoming TT5 tonearm. We shot a couple of pictures that we want to share here. And then we look forward to welcoming you to our studios and sharing our knowledge with you.
Like many other retailers, Marantz has brought a new highlight to the world at this year’s High End in Munich: the new KI Ruby series pays homage to developer Ken Ishiwata, who has been a brand ambassador for over 40 years. The series consists of the SA-KI Ruby, which is an SACD player, as well as the PM-KI Ruby integrated amplifier.
Among HiFi enthusiasts, the audiophile HiFi systems that NAD Electronics launches have always been known as classics. Under this premise, the Canadians have now created a wonderful series, which ties in with the unmistakable devices and is ideally suited to build a stereo system from great components.
The quality of the sound reproduction of records depends on the individual elements of the reproduction, ie the music components. The phono pre-amplification plays an important role. Already the models CP1 and CP2 from Cambridge Audio had rightly a very good reputation when it came to vinyl playback. Now Cambridge Audio has released two brand-new phono preamps with the sequels, which ensure a faithful vinyl reproduction and the sound in the best quality. For this special switching power supplies and board, designs were used.
After occupying ourselves with record players in general, as well as the cleaning of record players and vinyl, Jochen explains in our new German-language video about phono pre-amps and pick-ups. Enjoy!
Right about now is the pefect time for some Spring cleaning! So why not get onto doing something good for your vinyl collection and record player this year?

While Christmas is still a while away in terms of content, the radioeins segments on the topic of vinyl which Jochen a.k.a Dr. HiFi took part in over the last Boxing Day holiday are still current. Click here to listen to the German-language radio segments.
