Glad to see a new video, always a treat. Especially TT shootouts. Gonna stick to my guns for the P1, even at a slightly higher retail than other regions. Feel like it’s a better -overall- value in the sub-$500 range.
Dear Buddy Dale, thank you for coming back to see me! :-D thank you for helping a few months ago, another fellow brother whom you had advised to try first; experimenting sticking a penny = 2.5g to the tonearm without throwing money first onto changing a heavier counterweight for his turntable!!! Thank you brother :-D!!! Great to see you and have your time with me again!!! Warmest Regards and hope you've had a good weekend! Rest well my friend :-D ~ ian.
@@HiViNywschannel The US dime (about 2.0 g) was a quick fix to make sure that a small added weight would be enough to balance a rather light cartridge (the now-discontinued Goldring Elektra reviewed on this channel). Pro-Ject provided a small metal spacer for their tonearm which provided a bit more weight and a lot more security.
Can't tell you how much I love your videos. I'm only half way interested in buying a turntable, they're way down my list of priorities but watching your videos always makes me want to run out and buy one straight away. I love your enthusiasm, the way you describe sounds and the quality of the videos themselves. Wonderful, keep up the amazing work.
Hi Buddy Steve, yes...here i am again!! Thank you for your previous message on the P1vsDebutvsHX500 video!!! Best Regards and hope you enjoy your vinyl music journey!!!!!with great gear always!!! Warmest Regards and again, thank you for coming to see me again! ~ ian.
Thank you for the best and the most honestest review on TT's. This is the place to go for an honest review. I have stopped wasting time elsewhere. Precise, crisp, thorough and filled with information we need to know. Thank you, for your hard work. You are the best!
Brother, thank you for your kind time coming by and giving me your words of friendship. Thank you my friend!!! We shall help more friends with our fervent and honest help and sharings✌🤗✌!!! Warmest Regards, and we march on😄🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶 ~ Khai Yann.
Another outstanding review Ian! I like how you use the same artists that many of us are now familiar with in your comparisons. I think it makes it easier to pick out the nuances between turntables and carts. Thanks again and looking forward to more!
Dear Joe, thank you very much for catching up again. I value your presence, all these months, up till 8 months ago when you first messaged me on the Schiit Mani video review. Thank you very much Buddy. I will hope to meet you one day my friend. Yes Buddy, enjoy your MP-200 too!!!!!! :-D You have a giant. Best Regards and see you anytime Buddy :-)
Another great video Ian, your videos are very helpful for people without the ability to listen to all this gear. I finally purchased the Nagaoka mp200, thanks to your advice, and I couldn't be more pleased with it's performance.
Brother, You are one of my oldest supporter...spanning more than 3 years ago, to when I made my Shanling CD3.2 video!!! You were there to support me!!!!! I am very glad for you too, that you have gotten your MP-200 on top of your MP-110!!! Cool spinnings!!!! Enjoy.

Dear Buddy, thank YOU :-D for coming to see me again!! It has been more than one year that we have talking to each other!!! Enjoy your Schiit Mani too Buddy!!! Warmest Regards :-D
Excellent work and very informative as usual. It’s amazing how easy it is to hear the differences over TH-cam. Love the mall footage! It’s always a treat to see a new video posted!
Dear Buddy Don, thank you too!for your years of support!! :-D coming to two years now! Great to see you my friend. Thank you for your kindness ever so often and regularly for an old friend in me... Honoured to have you here again. Warmest Regards, ~ ian.
Thank you, you make us the things easier. Finally the Rega P1 is the best entry level turntable and that information is very important. Your videos are clear and accurate in their information. Eccellent!
am just starting out and your videos have been SO helpful and informative. The side by side comparison editing is exactly what a noob like me needed to commit in finding a good turntable. thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you too my friend for coming by! Have fun in your vinyl'ing journey! Vinyl analogue music is so beautiful, dynamic and, therapeutic. Listening to the record, gazing out to the window to the scenery in the evening... indescribable. Warmest Regards and may you and your family be safe and healthy! :-D
Hey Ian thanks for another wonderful review. You sure make buying all this audio equipment easier. I just got a new turntable in the mail, the Fluance RT85. I love it. It is so much better than my Pro-Ject Debut Carbon. It was out of stock for a long time but came back into stock on Fluance's website last week. The black one is in stock now.
Thank you for mentioning it, I was just about to tell Ian if he can to compare one the Fluance to the AT. I think an RT81 or RT82, as the RT85 (congrats BTW) is way over the price range. From all the reviews I've read and watched, I'll steer clear from Pro-Ject...
Dear Buddy :-D thank you for catching up! Really happy to see you again just shortly after a month! Warmest Regards and thank you for your kind time coming here to see me and writing me your encouragement! See you Buddy :-D and, have fun always with your lovely vinyl system! :-D
Another awesome video. Really amazed at how much better the audio Technica is. Even with TH-cam compression the difference is huge. Awesome job again like how you remain unbiased and tell it how it is!
Dear Buddy :-D great to see you again after 10 months! Thank YOU!!!! Hi five!! Hehheh i am sure you are loving your SL1200Mk3D AND that crazy outstanding MP-200.....cooooolll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really thank you for coming to see me an old friend again...thank you for your time and kind friendship Buddy! Warmest Regards, ~ ian.
@@HiViNywschannel wow you are amazing. Nice you get to know your followers. Also you are doing so much for the community especially buying all this with your own money. Hopefully you get some revenue from TH-cam but sure that doesn't cover all your cost. You do this with a lot of heart and knowledge. Thanks again. Looking forward to seeing what you do next. Thanks again Friend!
Brother, thank you for your kind words and encouragement... no youtube money... all my own savings monthly from my daily job.... not easy. But i do my part...i am sure such non-remunerative projects will help people. So i do them. Especially: - when i have you friends.
Another excellent video.Youve got it right again ,the audio technica much better on the jazz piano and snare more musical and airy.Also in the words of our friends from Glasgow,the AT is more musical and tuneful. Anther invaluable service done by you for the furtherance of Budget Audiophilia
Hello, thank you for you video. I tested at lpw40 nice turntable but in quiet moment, we can heard slight motor noise. For me, its the only problem of this turntable.
Dear Buddy Ted (Edward Barr) :-D from the U.K. to the Pearl of the Orient...please have a good time with your family!!! Warmest Regards, and thank you for coming by to see me again my friend!!!!
Ian, Thanks so much for another one of your great comparo's! I wasn't expecting the AT to be better by such a wide margin. Perhaps the cartridge made the biggest difference? The trip to the mall and the Esplanade were also interesting and enlightening! It's always fun to see your puppy and parakeet. Warm regards to you from your friend in the US! Mark
Brother Mark :-D hey hey!!!!!! :-D i love reading about your detailed journey along with your trusty old B&O deck and now so bravely venturing into SL1200+MP150 waters........ Kudos to you brother, now you are experiencing both sides of the fence as you describe it :-D I salute you Brother. Moko toy poodle and Mimi the parakeet say thank you to you Uncle Mark :-D Warm Regards to you and your family too my friend, from wifey and i.
@@HiViNywschannel Thank you for the kudos and the family greetings, brother Ian! I got to talk with Mr. Peter Ledermann - The SoundSmith yesterday and am making arrangements to return the cartridge for replacement or rebuild. He will oversee it when he returns to town in early September. It was quite an honor to talk with him! In the meantime, I'm still staying up way too late at night enjoying the MP-150. With the old cartridge I was slowly increasing treble & decreasing bass...trying to make highs and lows sound better. All control are back to being flat once again with outstanding sound thanks to the MP-150. The less effective suspension on the Technics was picking up vibration from my sub-woofer. Never had that issue with the B&O. I just put a set of isolation pads under the sub and it improves things greatly. Not only did it cure the vibration issue at the turntable, it also made the sub less "boomy" and more detailed. I actually had to turn the sub volume up a little to hear detail better since the hardwood floor wasn't augmenting and distorting the sound anymore. Something I should have noticed before! I just assumed the factory isolation feet on the Definitive Technology Pro-Sub 1000 were adequate, but not on hardwood floors, evidently. Wifey and I send warm greetings! Our "zoo" sends greetings as well! African Grays: Skylar and Rebel, Senegals: Jack-Jack and Baboo, Cockatoo: Bobby Pomeranians: Abigail and Speedy American Eskimo Dog: Middy Boxers: Beastie and Bailey Kitty: Hugh All send their regards to your family as well! (Yes, my wife and I have a weakness for rescue animals) Your friend and admirer, Mark
Dear Buddy :-D great to see you catch up! Hope it is helpful yes! But still, try to get the Rega P1 instead. It is all worth it :-D Warmest Regards, and thank you for coming to see me! Have fun in your journey and with lots of your favourite vinyl records! ~ ian.
This is the kind of real world comprehensive comparative review the HiFi audiophile world is sorely lacking. Thank you for producing such a high quality review. You're HiFI friend in the USA.
Dear Buddy, great to have your support and kindness!!!! Hope you are winding down a good Sunday's worth of events and resting well now ;-D ...have a good week ahead buddy in the U.S.! Thank you for your time again! Warmest Regards!:-D
Great to see another shootout - thank you as always for all the time and money you put into helping us all out - great and informative video as always :)
Dear Buddy :-D thank you for catching up with me again!!!after the previous message 11 months ago. Thank YOU!!! Really touched to have you back to see an old friend in me!! Hope you have been doing fine and everything smooth-sailing and peaceful. Warmest Regards and thank you for your time my friend!!! ~ ian.

Hello Ian. As always another great informative video. Love the extras at the end of your videos. I'm sitting in a hotel room in Colorado with my new SL 1200 MK7 boxed up and ready to go home tomorrow. Can't wait to get it set up tomorrow evening. Thank you for the inspiration and information to purchase this turntable. Regards from Colorado USA!
Dear Buddy :-D so now....after 12 hours... have you reached home? Unboxed :-D !!?!!!!! I GUESS YOU MUST HAVE!!and the stonking new turntable is spinning and smelling new like a dream on your rack now!...ready to kiss all your favourite records on its platter!!! :-D
Hello Ian. Finally home and all set up. This thing is amazing. It sounds like I have a new system. I'm using a Nagaoka MP-150 and a Schiit Mani. I hope you will do a review of it someday. I would like to hear your opinion of it. Thank you again for all the great information. Regards from Texas, USA.
Good morning old friend Ian. It is so nice to share some time with you on this Monday morning. Or hot August New England morning which I love. I can clearly hear the better sound on the LPW40WN when you played the Art Blakey. But I really appreciated how you spoke about adding the extra $150 and step up to the Rega P1. Excellent point, excellent suggestion as always. I talk about the Aldephi Mall to quite a few people that I shuttle into the Boston hospitals. I am always blown away at all the options, locations and the quality of the stores in there. It is an audiophiles paradise and we are so fortunate that you share it with us first hand. Have a nice week Ian. Hope your family are all doing well. From muggy New England but a nice weekend coming up~ Rob/Boston
Dear Buddy :-D hi!!! Really glad my big brother comes to see me!!!!! Brother!!! Pardon me, you shuttle into the Boston hospitals? What do you work as in the hospitals? :-D . Good that it is warm where you are now in New England!!! Rainy as well Brother? Thank you for acknowledging the $150 top up point i made. Thank you Brother!!!! Brother, if you do drop by, let me know, wifey and i will bring you around! Warmest Regards to you and your family & friends!!! ~ ian.
@@HiViNywschannel Hi Ian and thank you so much for the detailed response. I appreciate very much. To answer your question about the my job and the Boston Hospitals is my pleasure. I do not actually work inside the hospitals like a doctor, an orderly or anything like that. But I do work with the hospitals from the outside/in. I take people 65 and over to their appointments to all of the major hospitals in Boston. They may be going for a certain medical issue, radiation, dialysis, etc... I work for the city that I live in and I pick them up at their homes or wherever they are living. A lot of them have no family left or relatives. So they depend on us to take them. It is a very rewarding job in many ways. I love to help people so that in itself gives me so much satisfaction. I also have a small landscaping business that I started a few years back. I only have eight houses but it keeps me busy. I don't have as much beach time as I did before. But I still get to swim and surf occasionally. I have not had much time to make videos this summer. But I will make up for the lack of videos come this fall. I hope that my subscribers remember who I am. {smile} OK Ian. Once again, I really appreciated sharing a little bit of my jobs with you. I truly appreciate you asking. Oh and thank you for offering to show me around Japan. I would love to visit your beautiful country but I probably will not be able to get out there for about ten years or so. I will extend the same to you and your wife. If you ever get to come here to Boston it would be my pleasure to show you both around the whole city. Thank you again for your continued friendship. It means the world to me. Talk to you soon Brother Ian~ Rob
Thank you for your outstanding good work! When looking for information about Rega Planar1, I found your original review. Based on your tips, I decided to look for a second hand Sl1200. Now the proud owner of a mk2, very happy with it! Enjoying vinyl now again here in the Netherlands 🇳🇱. Best regards to you, hope to here more from you in the future.
Dear Buddy :-D yes!!! the P1! AND the second hand SL1200!!!!!! BEST WAYS to get in a the SWEETEST, SWEETEST SPOT!!!!!!! OH and now you tell me you have the most legendary MK TTTTWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOAH :-D Happy times in a certain home sweet home in the Netherlands🇳🇱... Warmest Regards, ~ ian.
I wish Ian would make a comeback - his comparison videos are still some of the best on TH-cam. On that note, Audio-Technica’s step-up turntable, the AT-LPW50PB Fully, has been favorably reviewed in comparison to both the Rega P1 and P2, and thought to be better than the former, and just as good as the latter. The LPW50 has a better feature set for sure, IMO. Cheers!
Dear Buddy Blake111 THank you and yes! P1+MP110+Mani. Modest amount to be invested by and superb high standards achieve at the same time!!! Thank you Buddy for catching up again. My warmest regards to your Father, on his trip to Omaha!!!
Great to hear from you again Ian. How interesting to see the amazing choice of hifi emporiums in your homeland, I do enjoy seeing how different it is to the UK. What’s next I wonder?, or are you already working on something? Please don’t spend too much of your money, have a holiday, enjoy yourself, buy some records. Hope to be hearing from you soon, best wishes to you and your family. Kind regards- Ron
Dear Buddy from the Yorkshire Dales! Hope you are loving your SRM(Athena:-D), MP200 and Mani!!!!!! I am very, very touched, with what you have advised me to do: don't spend too much of my own money, have a holiday, enjoy myself and buy some records. Thank you very, very much. You are very wise. And I am very, very touched from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Buddy. Sincerely yours, ~ ian and family.
HiViNyws channel - Hi Ian, ‘I have a cunning plan’ (UK comedy reference, Blackadder) Say you were to review 3 phono stages at £500. Would your friendly hifi guys not allow home audition of the three with the understanding that you bought one of them, the winner of the shootout. You could then offer the winner for sale thereby costing you nothing but still providing your indispensable service to the VC. Worth thinking about? Kind regards- Ron
Thank you Ian for the thoughtful and thorough review. The Audio Technica clearly outperformed the Project. At $300 U.S. dollars, it is a bargain. I also enjoyed your short tour of the Esplanade. What a great venue for the performing arts. My best to you and your family.
Dear Buddy Steven from CA!!! Hope you are having a cool Summer now! Thank you for your continued presence, and supporting me all these while.... it takes up your time, and hereby i want to thank you again for coming to see me, and so nicely, messaging me. Love to you and your family too, Mimi, Moko, wifey and i.
HiViNyws channel Thank you buddy for your reply. I know it takes a tremendous amount of time for you to produce such detailed reviews. I appreciate your hard work and your dedication to the vinyl community. I always look forward to your reviews.
You hit it on the nose again, Ian. I have been hesitant to purchase an new turntable, but I think my shopping has been made easier because of this review. As always, a great side by side comparison video! Thanks for the ending to this installment. Your joy for Singapore, and the blessings in your life is infectious!
Dear Buddy Jon :-D!!! Thank you!!! Hope you and your family are doing well in New Mexico!!!! And your 35-yr-old Dual TT!!!!!spinning strongly and smoothly!!!! Thank you for your time coming to see an old friend in me again! Best Regards Buddy!!!!

Thanks Ian, weather a little changeable at the moment, but still enjoying our Sunday. Enjoying the Mani as ever, have a restful weekend too my friend. All the best to you and your family!
I'm surprised at the results, and very pleased the AT did as well as it did. I also understand why you would need to jump to the P1, for sure. Very nice you could meet up with Jerry.
Dear Buddy Kris :-D !!! You are the first one i am telling here:-D!!! Here goes: - i have finally bought the KCC Scientific 1930 60Hz clock!!! just a month ago... - ...so that, i can finally run the lovely blue-coloured U-Turn Orbit I bought TWO years ago at the right speed!!! I, in fact, bought the AudioTechnica AT-LP120, the Pro-Ject Primary, the TEAC TN-300 and the U-Turn Orbit with Black1, two years ago, together, at great cost, to run the turntable shoot-out, but, because the Orbit runs at 110V 60Hz, i had to leave it out. - ..and not just because of the specific voltage of 110V and frequency of 60Hz different from the rest of the world: Europe. Britain, Asia, Australia, etc, the U-Turn Orbit comes at a great cost to anybody outside of North America shipping it via own courier services...expensive shipping fees, handling fees and import taxes all rolled into one. That goes the same for Fluance turntables. - Thus U-Turn and Fluance turntables cannot be applied in the same sentence with us outside of North America, choosing between ubiquitously distributed makes i.e. Rega, Pro-Ject, AudioTechnica, TEAC, etc.... - So finally, the U-Turn will be ready to do battle here, as i have gotten hold of the KCC Scientific 1930 60Hz clock to run the U-Turn, versus.... the latest Fluance turntables...should be the RT83(2M Red) and RT84(2M Blue). Dear Kris, thank you for your input and kinship always. Warmest Regards to you and Marissa. ~ from Miyako and i.
@@HiViNywschannel That is SO exciting! I will be anxiously waiting to see your reviews and hopefully confirm my thoughts on it being a pretty good contender for that $500 turntable spot.
My Buddy Jacob :-D!!! YAY!!! See you!!! I checked back and my dear friend Jacob has known me since more than two years ago, messaging me first on the MP-150 video! Thank you my friend for continuing coming to see me! Brother, enjoy your Nag and we punch on in our journey!!! Warmest Regards to you and your family my friend!!!! :-D ~ ian.

Great Ian! As always, a great review and a great service you do to all the vinyl lovers around the world! May God Bless your generosity! By the way, your little poodle dog is very cute and looks like my "Doce" who unfortunately died tragically in an accident in March 2018. Cheers from Brazil!
Dearest Fabrizio, thank you for coming to see my ever so regularly for the past THREE years. Thank you so much Buddy. My condolences to you and your family whose love with Doce is forever. Brother, take care and my warmest regards to your family.
I was impressed by the sound of both decks for the money. Clearly that AT was the winner but both sounded very musical. Love your pets Ian, with every good wish to you and yours.

So happy to see you have released a new video. Can't wait to check it out. Take care my friend. FYI: I recently checked with Schiit and there is still no firm ETA on the release date for the Sol. 😭 OH well, hopefully it will be available by Christmas.

Brother! I have already done the MP-150 and MP-200 reviews in my Group C and Group D MM cart reviews!!! Also, avoid the AT/Denon/Onkyo/Fluance/etc oem made decks from the same company.
Hello Ian, Once again you have made a fabulous new video am I'm always waiting for more. Great shootout for the NA marketplace on two nice entry level tables. I was not familiar with the new AT 40wn but it seems for a starter TT to be very well built and good sounding, only thing I would do is put on a Nag MP110. Once again great video. Hope you and the family are doing well my friend will speak again soon.
Dear Buddy Mark :-D first message from you to me so kindly, was on the Arcam rPhono review more than a year ago, and ever since, so regularly spending time with me. Thank you Brother. Brother :-D, have fun always enjoying your Mani and MP-110 stupendous combination always!!!!! Me definitely, they always make me smile, grin widely and nod my head in full agreement and satisfaction!!! Warmest Regards to you and your family too my friend, may they be well and happy!!! ~ ian.
Dear Buddy from Scotland, thank you very much for always coming to see me. I have just checked back, and our messages go back to more than 3 years ago on my P3 review video. Brother, thank you. Hope you are loving your MP110s on all your turntables and that MANI :-D Warmest Regards and hope the weather is just nice and cool :-D and your family peaceful and fine. ~ ian.
Great Review, thank you! In NA prices have changed a bit, probably due to Covid and other supply chain issues. Currently the street prices are as follows, which I think makes a better argument for the AT. Also, the Essential III seems to be no longer available. The closest alternative from Pro-Ject is the T1. AT-LPW40WN: $350 (with phono stage) Pro-Ject T1 (closest alternative to Essential III): $450 (with phono stage) Rega P1: $595 The T1 certainly looks interesting looking at the features, but only a review will tell. Still it's $100 more than the AT. The Rega is a ~$250 delta. I am sure it is worth it, but that certainly would be a big consideration for newbies, especially since you will need to add a phono pre-amp of a quality that makes sense for the P1, which would add ~$150. In addition, you would have to assume that folks have the downstream components to actually hear a difference, which is not necessarily the case with entry-level audiophiles. Anyways, enjoyed the review. I got the AT for my 13-year old son and am glad it got the thumbs up.
Dear Brudder :-D!!!! Enjoy your MoFI ULTRAdeck and MP-200!....oooh..must be VERY GRAND!!! Black and Yellow with that thicker substantial platter. Better finishing too than the StudioDeck (which already looks really grand!!!). Warmest Regards and thank you for coming to see me gain Buddy! ~ ian.
Man, you to have deep pockets :). Thank you for spending and making this informative video. In my opinion the AT wins big time. No doubt about it. Cool to hear and see there are differences still in such products. People can make an educated choice now. One time I will replace my precious. By what? I can not decide yet. Cool video.
Dear Buddy Lars :-D great to see you again!!! I am very happy your whole family loves your Schiit Mani and MP-110!!! Your whole family is indeed vinyl-hooked!!!!

Dear Buddy, the AT530 is already very poor in performance. Even worse than its predecessor. The Goldring Elektra or a Nagaoka MP-100 is even better than the AT540ML. Having a micro line stylus does not make it a better cartridge. The base, the design, its whatever twin magnet, yolk structure, is all hype as these AT MM MM cartridges are poor for the money. The competitors at even lower prices can beat them to a pulp. Avoid the AT VM series 🤗🤗🤗 Stay safe and vigilant. May you and your family be well and happy too😄🏡💚🍀🍀🍀
Hi, any chance to see a riview of the AT LP5? Anyway, thank you so much for providing such high quality content in every single video. You're the best, man!
Buddy :-D thank you for your kind time and great encouragement!!!! I will continue to do so! I have just ordered two phonostages and i will review them soon too! Warmest Regards!!!!! ~ ian.
Really enjoy all your videos. Hope someday to see a review of of the Rega P1 vs the Canadian Fluance RT85, both of which are right around $500.00 in the US.
Dear Buddy :-D thank you for your kind words and enjoying my videos... Yes i would be keen to get the rt84 to pit it against the P1. P1 is about $450 in the U.S. Thank you for coming by and lending in your kind support!!
Dear Buddy :-D thank you for coming to see me again!! Hehheh!!!! A super solid Sansui in your house now!!!!! Hehheh...don't make me drool again Brother.... they are so yummy. I would love to have one!!!!!!!!!
I bought the Audio Technica recently to replace a old Pioneer PL335 which was starting to show it's age... mainly to use to record to vinyl to digital on my comp using Audacity with the inbuilt pre amp in the turntable and its quiet as a mouse...so I'm happy
Dear Buddy :-D great to see you again!!! Hehheh, if you do drop by, give me a tinkle! I will bring you around! Warmest Regards and thank you for your kind time and friendship coming to see me! ~ ian.
Ian how are you and your family buddy hope you are doing good I just got my self a pioneer sx440 from 1969 it's only 12 watts per channel I love it along with a pioneer pl41 turntable I am having fun take care my friend
Dear Buddy :-D hi!!!!!!!! WOW Miguel!!! You got another vintage yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PIONEER SX440 :-D Hehheh!!!! ANd, the PL41 turntable. L.o.v.e.l.y. and yummy!!!!!!!! I can see you are enjoying many vintage lovely heart-warming gear all in front of you in your home as you relax after a day's work! Warmest Regards Buddy!!!...thank you very much for catching up with me! ~ ian.
Hi Ian!!! Glad to see another grrrreeeaaat video from you 😁!!! I had a Project Debut Carbon 9years ago, and I found its sound a little boring (so to speak...) , Specially playing rock.... Cheers from Argentina, my friend !!! 👏👏😎😎
Hi Buddy Claudio from Argentina!! Thank you for catching up!! Hope you are enjoying now, your Schiit Mani, your AT33SA and 33ptgii on your Microseiki with Jelco tonearm!!!! Super nice especially now with your step-up transformer into your Schiit Mani!!!!! Warmest Regards to you and your family in Argentina!:-D ~ ian.
Great Video to watch especially after Norwich beating Newcastle. Singapore always looks wonderful and HiFi stores to dream about. Not sure about Mimi's dropped comment, must be related to her thoughts on Project TT's perhaps.
AT easily wins this battle! Makes me want one as a secondary turntable! Another incredible, detailed video. Best audio review videos on TH-cam. Cheers from Canada.
Dear Buddy Nazz!!! WOW great to see you again after three years!! Thank you! I am very touched by your gesture!!!! Thank YOU! Brother hope you are enjoying your Grado Green too!!!!..and Warmest Regards to you and your family in Canada :-D ~ ian.
Hehheh Buddy :-D sorry...i don't have time to make the video yet... but i can 100% safely say, the P1's performance is way better than the 40WN. Way better :-D
Dear Buddy, great to see you again!!! Enjoy your P3, having upgraded from your previous Fluance. AND of course your super Schiit Mani and MP-110. POWER. :-D yes brother, i will do my best to review one or two fluance perhaps. Shipping will be terribly expensive over to Singapore. I will try. Warmest Regards, and thank you again for your time coming to see me!an old friend! ~ ian.

Dear Buddy :-D thank you for coming to see me! Your first message to me was two years ago on the Rega P3 2016 unboxing video :-D ... Last month you asked about the P1 replacement of the tonearm wire. Hope you have found your answers. I do not have any hum issue at all with the P1. IGD of the P1 is nil because the tonearm is very well engineered with super smooth bearings and zero free play, and of course, with a nicely matched, great cartridge, with proper anti-skating adjusted accordingly with the HiFi News test record, IGD is non-existent. Warmest Regards my friend :-D ~ ian.
Hi Ian, Even a rather affordable turntable can sound nice. Same with food, a spaghetti bolognese can be a great meal. It is not high end but still a pleasant experience.
Brother Mike :-D i bet you have bought this: www.zappa.com/news/frank-zappas-beloved-live-double-album-zappa-new-york-celebrated-suite-40th-anniversary ??? :-D
Hay Ian! It's been too long, what's it been about a couple months since your last video! Good to see you again, Buddy! So far as the video, I can hear the difference with a "one piece " Bluetooth headset! That says a lot right there! But of course I've also listened to it with my proper gear!
Yes Buddy :-D!!! It has been 7 weeks! Apologies to you and all my friends... but i am sure you all will emphatize with me: My baby Moko suffered a ruptured right hind leg cranial cruciate ligament in late May, and finally arranged for a good surgeon to operate on her just in mid June. Two weeks thereafter, since early July, it has been a lot of travelling to bring her to the rehabiliation/physiotherapists' centre. Daily, a lot of work involved too to care for her and give her even more love and care. She is much better now :-) and feeling more positive, and even Mimi the Budgie cares for her! I made a postop bed and recovery bed for her, which you can see in the video. She will rest on it, and I can carry the whole thing around in the house so that she doesn't need to tire out after intensive exercises. She is much better now. Thank you!!! Hehhehh.... definitely easy to hear this one!!! The difference, indeed, is stark between the two decks here. Brother, thank YOU! for coming by to see me!!! Warmest Regards, ~ ian.
@@HiViNywschannel I absolutely understand brother! You take care of yourself and family first and foremost , everything else should take a backseat! I hope your kid makes a full recovery and feels better! Thank you, Ian!
Great video-THANK YOU! Not to make your life more complicated, but can you get Fluance turntables where you are? They are what I would look at in this price range in the USA
Dear Tim, thank you very much for catching up again! Brother, thank you for your suggestion, i will hope to pick one up in the near future. The Fluance will be very expensive for us in the rest of the world, in Europe, Britain, South America, Asia, Africa, Australia and NZ, taking into account shipping fees, handling fees and import taxes. But you are right, it is an option N.A. friends would be looking at. I will take heed. Thank you very, very much Buddy Tim :-) Warmest Regards and have a smooth-sailing peaceful week ahead. ~ ian.
Zu speakers in the house!! Nice video Ian as always! Moko and Mimi, yeah! Audio Note UK sitting next to YG Accoustics in the same store! Hey Ian thanks for the show.👍
@@ericjensen9091 hehheh...yes skateboard in the past...after my slipped disc L5S1, being operated in Aug 2016 😅 Have a good weekend Buddy Eric! Forever remember your sharp comment :-D
Yes Sir... I have written to Schiit.com and their staff have replied me that they will ready the 240V 50Hz version for the rest of the world outside North America....in the next 2-3months time. ✌😄!!!! I'm excited to soon be able to place my order and have it shipped to Singapore! Maybe after you have gotten yours!😄
Good good Brother! I totally agree. I'd too, if I were you, buy the less pricey one without the extra frills and hype. 🍀😄👍 May you and your family be well and happy.💚🏡💪🎶🎶🎶
Dear Buddy Hans Vos!!!!, thank you yet again for coming to see me!!! hehheh... and warmest regards to you and you family and friends in The Netherlands!!!
Brother :-D thank you for coming to see me again!! If you ever come back to NUH or any institution as an expat, let me know Buddy!!!!!! Dyson headquarters is near NUH now... :-D Warmest Regards to you and your family!~ ~ ian.
can still hear the almost trademark AT motor hum, once you hear it it's game over for AT...currently own an AT LP 5, and it has a cogging noise from the motor, and hum if i use the supplied 95EX cartridge....i upgraded foolishly to a AT520 EB cart and on certain records it has very bad feedback / ringing and that is with the speakers on the other side of the room and the tt on spikes and granite shelf...currently using a cheap rega carbon with reduced isses other than the cogging noise...deffinately going to buy a rega p2 in the near future....
Dear Buddy, thank you for catching up! You are right, there is a slight hum with most AT decks, but here, on overall, it still beats the essential3 unfortunately. Thank you for your time writing to me again Buddy. Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it my friend. I learn from your experience. Warmest Regards, ~ ian.
@@HiViNywschannel I agree, and more times than not that can be eliminated when you buy an AC suppressor. Most DC hum is not from the motor but the line noise in the AC. I use the Hum-X for all of my equipment, and none of my turntables have any hum. Maybe address the problem rather than blaming the electronics.
IAN!!!!! Guess what FINALLY went on sale today? Starts with Schi...and ends with ...ol. I just ordered mine. It's stupid, but I really want to check this sucker out. We've been waiting so long. Cheers!!!
@@HiViNywschannel I received the Sol yesterday and am in the process of assembling it. "Stupidly" I forgot to order the cartridge first (MP-200) so that won't arrive until tomorrow. Should make for a great weekend of testing. I'll let you know what I think about it. Take care my friend and I'll talk to you soon. 👽🖖"Na-nu"
Put together by you these turntables should go up in value 😀 really hope you get a lot back from what you paid. All the work and effort you put into this is just wow. Me, even when I am not interested in a special video (which barely happens) , I always enjoy the content. It’s like a hello from an old friend. You are looking good, so I assume you are doing good, too. Greetings Elderin
Again Buddy! Guten Tag with your SF+S3000+Ansuz! Dear Buddy, things are not exactly well. My little daughter sustained a ruptured right hind leg Cranial Cruciate Ligament in late May, and operation (TPLO operation) was done in mid June, and since then, i have been heartbroken about her inability to fully use her right hind leg. She is getting better, and my wife and i have brought her to the rehab centre regularly ever since every week. Thank you for your concern. Brother, enjoy your super suave system the SAS :-D, you must be on cloud nine everyday with analogue bliss too! ~ ian.
Thank you too my friend... My hard earned money used to do these reviews...asking for nothing except to help vinyl friends to choose wisely, And, Enjoy our precious vinyl music.
Dear Buddy :-D great to see you!!! Thank you for coming to catch up with me!!! Thank YOU!!! Hope you have been doing well my friend!!!! The Fluance is OEM made probably by the same Hanpin company that makes the TEAC TN-300, Denon DP300F and Onkyo CP1050, etc :-D Nevertheless i will plan to have a Fluance up against a U-Turn asap. Yup, if it materalizes, both are of course purchased from my own pocket and never ever sponsored. I reject all sponsorships :-) so as to maintain 100% honesty to all of you my friends. You guys are the only people, the only reason i am making these projects and videos for. My only allegiance is to you friends and buddies. Warmest Regards and have a great vinyl'ing journey ahead!!! We rock on :-D ~ ian.
Ian, I enjoy your your honest reviews of different componets. It is easy to distinguish the differences in sound between components in your videos. Where can I find information on your reference system (speakers, tt, phono preamp, cartridge, etc?)
Dear Buddy :-D wow YEAH!!! Vinyl Rules!!!!!!!!!! Indeed :-D hahaha hi five!!!! Brother, my system is in no way compared to many richer guys out there....so my humble system should be easily researched under google keywords search. Best Regards Buddy!!! And thank you for catching up with me! Have fun my friend :-D
Glad to see a new video, always a treat. Especially TT shootouts. Gonna stick to my guns for the P1, even at a slightly higher retail than other regions. Feel like it’s a better -overall- value in the sub-$500 range.
Dear Buddy Dale, thank you for coming back to see me! :-D thank you for helping a few months ago, another fellow brother whom you had advised to try first; experimenting sticking a penny = 2.5g to the tonearm without throwing money first onto changing a heavier counterweight for his turntable!!! Thank you brother :-D!!!
Great to see you and have your time with me again!!!
Warmest Regards and hope you've had a good weekend! Rest well my friend :-D
~ ian.
Its a good player one of the best in the pricerange mentioned.
@UCAY5pA3qOH5gQqSYDs2vP_A Sorry my friend, I have tried it.
The P1 still won easily. Come to my home and have a listen🤗🌞🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶
@@HiViNywschannel The US dime (about 2.0 g) was a quick fix to make sure that a small added weight would be enough to balance a rather light cartridge (the now-discontinued Goldring Elektra reviewed on this channel). Pro-Ject provided a small metal spacer for their tonearm which provided a bit more weight and a lot more security.
@@1mctous Dear Buddy Martin, have a good rest and stay safe in Alaska.🤗👌🍀
Can't tell you how much I love your videos. I'm only half way interested in buying a turntable, they're way down my list of priorities but watching your videos always makes me want to run out and buy one straight away. I love your enthusiasm, the way you describe sounds and the quality of the videos themselves.
Wonderful, keep up the amazing work.
Hi Buddy Steve, yes...here i am again!! Thank you for your previous message on the P1vsDebutvsHX500 video!!! Best Regards and hope you enjoy your vinyl music journey!!!!!with great gear always!!!
Warmest Regards and again, thank you for coming to see me again!

Hey I just came across your channel while looking for a new mid range record player. You’re reviews are phenomenal and I love you’re enthusiasm
Thank you for the best and the most honestest review on TT's. This is the place to go for an honest review. I have stopped wasting time elsewhere. Precise, crisp, thorough and filled with information we need to know. Thank you, for your hard work. You are the best!

Warmest Regards, and we march on😄🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶

Thank you! I have been agonizing between a P1 and an Essentials 3 and after watching this and another one of your P1 videos, I'm convinced.
Another outstanding review Ian! I like how you use the same artists that many of us are now familiar with in your comparisons. I think it makes it easier to pick out the nuances between turntables and carts. Thanks again and looking forward to more!
Dear Joe, thank you very much for catching up again. I value your presence, all these months, up till 8 months ago when you first messaged me on the Schiit Mani video review.
Thank you very much Buddy.
I will hope to meet you one day my friend.
Yes Buddy, enjoy your MP-200 too!!!!!! :-D
You have a giant.
Best Regards and see you anytime Buddy :-)
Another great video Ian, your videos are very helpful for people without the ability to listen to all this gear.
I finally purchased the Nagaoka mp200, thanks to your advice, and I couldn't be more pleased with it's performance.
Brother,
You are one of my oldest supporter...spanning more than 3 years ago, to when I made my Shanling CD3.2 video!!! You were there to support me!!!!!
I am very glad for you too, that you have gotten your MP-200 on top of your MP-110!!!
Cool spinnings!!!! Enjoy.
@@HiViNywschannel Sticker shock: the US price for the MP-200 went from $350 to over $500. The MP-150 is still a bargain at $250.

Thank you, you make us the things easier. Finally the Rega P1 is the best entry level turntable and that information is very important. Your videos are clear and accurate in their information. Eccellent!
am just starting out and your videos have been SO helpful and informative. The side by side comparison editing is exactly what a noob like me needed to commit in finding a good turntable. thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you too my friend for coming by! Have fun in your vinyl'ing journey! Vinyl analogue music is so beautiful, dynamic and, therapeutic. Listening to the record, gazing out to the window to the scenery in the evening... indescribable.
Warmest Regards and may you and your family be safe and healthy! :-D
Hey Ian thanks for another wonderful review. You sure make buying all this audio equipment easier. I just got a new turntable in the mail, the Fluance RT85. I love it. It is so much better than my Pro-Ject Debut Carbon. It was out of stock for a long time but came back into stock on Fluance's website last week. The black one is in stock now.
Thank you for mentioning it, I was just about to tell Ian if he can to compare one the Fluance to the AT.
I think an RT81 or RT82, as the RT85 (congrats BTW) is way over the price range.
From all the reviews I've read and watched, I'll steer clear from Pro-Ject...
Thanks for this review. After that video i bought AT-LPW40WN and already upgraded cartridge with Goldring E3(also after your videos)
Ian, your joy for your hobby and the vinyl community are infectious. Thank you for the new video. It’s always a treat!
Dear Buddy :-D thank you for catching up! Really happy to see you again just shortly after a month!
Warmest Regards and thank you for your kind time coming here to see me and writing me your encouragement!
See you Buddy :-D and, have fun always with your lovely vinyl system! :-D
Another awesome video. Really amazed at how much better the audio Technica is. Even with TH-cam compression the difference is huge. Awesome job again like how you remain unbiased and tell it how it is!
Dear Buddy :-D great to see you again after 10 months! Thank YOU!!!! Hi five!!

@@HiViNywschannel wow you are amazing. Nice you get to know your followers. Also you are doing so much for the community especially buying all this with your own money.

Thanks again Friend!
Brother, thank you for your kind words and encouragement... no youtube money... all my own savings monthly from my daily job.... not easy. But i do my part...i am sure such non-remunerative projects will help people. So i do them. Especially:
- when i have you friends.
Another excellent video.Youve got it right again ,the audio technica much better on the jazz piano and snare more musical and airy.Also in the words of our friends from Glasgow,the AT is more musical and tuneful.
Anther invaluable service done by you for the furtherance of Budget Audiophilia
Hello, thank you for you video. I tested at lpw40 nice turntable but in quiet moment, we can heard slight motor noise. For me, its the only problem of this turntable.

Ian,
Thanks so much for another one of your great comparo's! I wasn't expecting the AT to be better by such a wide margin. Perhaps the cartridge made the biggest difference?
The trip to the mall and the Esplanade were also interesting and enlightening!
It's always fun to see your puppy and parakeet.
Warm regards to you from your friend in the US!

@@HiViNywschannel Thank you for the kudos and the family greetings, brother Ian!
I got to talk with Mr. Peter Ledermann - The SoundSmith yesterday and am making arrangements to return the cartridge for replacement or rebuild. He will oversee it when he returns to town in early September. It was quite an honor to talk with him!
In the meantime, I'm still staying up way too late at night enjoying the MP-150. With the old cartridge I was slowly increasing treble & decreasing bass...trying to make highs and lows sound better. All control are back to being flat once again with outstanding sound thanks to the MP-150. The less effective suspension on the Technics was picking up vibration from my sub-woofer. Never had that issue with the B&O. I just put a set of isolation pads under the sub and it improves things greatly. Not only did it cure the vibration issue at the turntable, it also made the sub less "boomy" and more detailed. I actually had to turn the sub volume up a little to hear detail better since the hardwood floor wasn't augmenting and distorting the sound anymore. Something I should have noticed before! I just assumed the factory isolation feet on the Definitive Technology Pro-Sub 1000 were adequate, but not on hardwood floors, evidently.
Wifey and I send warm greetings!

Hello Ian. As always another great informative video. Love the extras at the end of your videos. I'm sitting in a hotel room in Colorado with my new SL 1200 MK7 boxed up and ready to go home tomorrow. Can't wait to get it set up tomorrow evening. Thank you for the inspiration and information to purchase this turntable. Regards from Colorado USA!

Hello Ian. Finally home and all set up. This thing is amazing. It sounds like I have a new system. I'm using a Nagaoka MP-150 and a Schiit Mani. I hope you will do a review of it someday. I would like to hear your opinion of it. Thank you again for all the great information. Regards from Texas, USA.
Good morning old friend Ian. It is so nice to share some time with you on this Monday morning. Or hot August New England morning which I love. I can clearly hear the better sound on the LPW40WN when you played the Art Blakey. But I really appreciated how you spoke about adding the extra $150 and step up to the Rega P1. Excellent point, excellent suggestion as always. I talk about the Aldephi Mall to quite a few people that I shuttle into the Boston hospitals. I am always blown away at all the options, locations and the quality of the stores in there. It is an audiophiles paradise and we are so fortunate that you share it with us first hand.
Have a nice week Ian. Hope your family are all doing well. From muggy New England but a nice weekend coming up~
Rob/Boston
Dear Buddy :-D hi!!! Really glad my big brother comes to see me!!!!! Brother!!! Pardon me, you shuttle into the Boston hospitals? What do you work as in the hospitals? :-D . Good that it is warm where you are now in New England!!! Rainy as well Brother?

@@HiViNywschannel Hi Ian and thank you so much for the detailed response. I appreciate very much. To answer your question about the my job and the Boston Hospitals is my pleasure. I do not actually work inside the hospitals like a doctor, an orderly or anything like that. But I do work with the hospitals from the outside/in. I take people 65 and over to their appointments to all of the major hospitals in Boston. They may be going for a certain medical issue, radiation, dialysis, etc... I work for the city that I live in and I pick them up at their homes or wherever they are living. A lot of them have no family left or relatives. So they depend on us to take them. It is a very rewarding job in many ways. I love to help people so that in itself gives me so much satisfaction.
I also have a small landscaping business that I started a few years back. I only have eight houses but it keeps me busy. I don't have as much beach time as I did before. But I still get to swim and surf occasionally. I have not had much time to make videos this summer. But I will make up for the lack of videos come this fall. I hope that my subscribers remember who I am. {smile}
OK Ian. Once again, I really appreciated sharing a little bit of my jobs with you. I truly appreciate you asking. Oh and thank you for offering to show me around Japan. I would love to visit your beautiful country but I probably will not be able to get out there for about ten years or so. I will extend the same to you and your wife. If you ever get to come here to Boston it would be my pleasure to show you both around the whole city. Thank you again for your continued friendship. It means the world to me. Talk to you soon Brother Ian~

On that note, Audio-Technica’s step-up turntable, the AT-LPW50PB Fully, has been favorably reviewed in comparison to both the Rega P1 and P2, and thought to be better than the former, and just as good as the latter. The LPW50 has a better feature set for sure, IMO. Cheers!
Thanks again Ian for another insightful comparison. I join you in recommending the Rega P1, N110, and the Mani to our friends in the USA.
Dear Buddy Blake111 THank you and yes! P1+MP110+Mani. Modest amount to be invested by and superb high standards achieve at the same time!!!
Thank you Buddy for catching up again.
My warmest regards to your Father, on his trip to Omaha!!!
Great to hear from you again Ian. How interesting to see the amazing choice of hifi emporiums in your homeland, I do enjoy seeing how different it is to the UK. What’s next I wonder?, or are you already working on something? Please don’t spend too much of your money, have a holiday, enjoy yourself, buy some records. Hope to be hearing from you soon, best wishes to you and your family.
Kind regards- Ron
Dear Buddy from the Yorkshire Dales! Hope you are loving your SRM(Athena:-D), MP200 and Mani!!!!!!
I am very, very touched, with what you have advised me to do: don't spend too much of my own money, have a holiday, enjoy myself and buy some records.
Thank you very, very much.
You are very wise. And I am very, very touched from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you Buddy.
Sincerely yours,
~ ian and family.
HiViNyws channel - Hi Ian, ‘I have a cunning plan’ (UK comedy reference, Blackadder) Say you were to review 3 phono stages at £500. Would your friendly hifi guys not allow home audition of the three with the understanding that you bought one of them, the winner of the shootout. You could then offer the winner for sale thereby costing you nothing but still providing your indispensable service to the VC. Worth thinking about?
Kind regards- Ron
Thank you Ian for the thoughtful and thorough review. The Audio Technica clearly outperformed the Project. At $300 U.S. dollars, it is a bargain. I also enjoyed your short tour of the Esplanade. What a great venue for the performing arts. My best to you and your family.
Dear Buddy Steven from CA!!! Hope you are having a cool Summer now!
Thank you for your continued presence, and supporting me all these while.... it takes up your time, and hereby i want to thank you again for coming to see me, and so nicely, messaging me.
Love to you and your family too,
Mimi, Moko, wifey and i.
HiViNyws channel Thank you buddy for your reply. I know it takes a tremendous amount of time for you to produce such detailed reviews. I appreciate your hard work and your dedication to the vinyl community. I always look forward to your reviews.
You hit it on the nose again, Ian. I have been hesitant to purchase an new turntable, but I think my shopping has been made easier because of this review. As always, a great side by side comparison video! Thanks for the ending to this installment. Your joy for Singapore, and the blessings in your life is infectious!
Dear Buddy Jon :-D!!! Thank you!!! Hope you and your family are doing well in New Mexico!!!! And your 35-yr-old Dual TT!!!!!spinning strongly and smoothly!!!!
Thank you for your time coming to see an old friend in me again!
Best Regards Buddy!!!!
Hi ! Hi ! I miss you. So happy to see you back with another outstanding video.
Brudder Sari in neighbouring🇲🇾!!! May you be Well and Happy!!!👋😄✌... hey I miss you too!!!! Good to hear from you again!!!!
Hope you are enjoying your lovely night. I am now makaning at a local Indian Muslim stall, stepson no.1 and I having Mattar Paneer and Plain Naan and Teh-O Limau Ice!!😋😎aiyoh....so hot nowadays man!.. I hope things are better higher up north in your home sweet town in Penang!!!!!
Super shootout. Your videos are so informative. And have to say your budgie is obviously a fan of the schiit on mani. Peace and love to you and family Ian.
Dear Buddy Stephen!!!! Hehheh!!! How is your lovely white P3xMP110 with that BLUE MAT.... Optiwhite glass shining below. Must be extremely gorgeous to say the least to gaze at as your record spins before you and the wonderful analogue sound comes off!! Hehheh!!! My Budgie gives good schiit always!! She is very, very cute.
Brother, warmest regards to you and your family too.... and, thank you for coming to see me again.
Wishing you love and smooth-sailing journeys in your endeavours,

actually a very good comparison video, thanks for this!
Hi Ian, thank you for another wonderful review.
Dear Buddy Paul!! Thank you for catching up again!! I hope you are enjoying a nice 20degC Summer in the U.K. now!!! :-D . Have a restful Sunday with your family!!!
Hope you are enjoying your Mani as always my friend!!! :-D Best Regards!

Thanks Ian, weather a little changeable at the moment, but still enjoying our Sunday. Enjoying the Mani as ever, have a restful weekend too my friend. All the best to you and your family!
I'm surprised at the results, and very pleased the AT did as well as it did. I also understand why you would need to jump to the P1, for sure. Very nice you could meet up with Jerry.
Dear Buddy Kris :-D !!! You are the first one i am telling here:-D!!!
Here goes:
- i have finally bought the KCC Scientific 1930 60Hz clock!!! just a month ago...
- ...so that, i can finally run the lovely blue-coloured U-Turn Orbit I bought TWO years ago at the right speed!!! I, in fact, bought the AudioTechnica AT-LP120, the Pro-Ject Primary, the TEAC TN-300 and the U-Turn Orbit with Black1, two years ago, together, at great cost, to run the turntable shoot-out, but, because the Orbit runs at 110V 60Hz, i had to leave it out.
- ..and not just because of the specific voltage of 110V and frequency of 60Hz different from the rest of the world: Europe. Britain, Asia, Australia, etc, the U-Turn Orbit comes at a great cost to anybody outside of North America shipping it via own courier services...expensive shipping fees, handling fees and import taxes all rolled into one. That goes the same for Fluance turntables.
- Thus U-Turn and Fluance turntables cannot be applied in the same sentence with us outside of North America, choosing between ubiquitously distributed makes i.e. Rega, Pro-Ject, AudioTechnica, TEAC, etc....
- So finally, the U-Turn will be ready to do battle here, as i have gotten hold of the KCC Scientific 1930 60Hz clock to run the U-Turn, versus.... the latest Fluance turntables...should be the RT83(2M Red) and RT84(2M Blue).
Dear Kris, thank you for your input and kinship always.
Warmest Regards to you and Marissa.
~ from Miyako and i.
@@HiViNywschannel That is SO exciting! I will be anxiously waiting to see your reviews and hopefully confirm my thoughts on it being a pretty good contender for that $500 turntable spot.
Ian, thank you for the shootout and advice. Your dedication is inspiring! Awesome video!
My Buddy Jacob :-D!!! YAY!!! See you!!! I checked back and my dear friend Jacob has known me since more than two years ago, messaging me first on the MP-150 video! Thank you my friend for continuing coming to see me!

My condolences to you and your family whose love with Doce is forever.
Brother, take care and my warmest regards to your family.
I was impressed by the sound of both decks for the money. Clearly that AT was the winner but both sounded very musical. Love your pets Ian, with every good wish to you and yours.

Wow Brother, oh a roll eh :-D !?!!! Wow a SoundSmith MIMC, Butcher Block plinth to further heighten you superSL1200's performance. It is on steroids! Mmmm...original pressing of Sergio Mendes.... smooth and soothing.... musical and delightful... enjoy Brudder :-D !!!

Another great video man! Always look forward to seeing you. The AT-LPW40WN would make a great turntable for someone getting into the vinyl hobby. It has a very nice price tag, and it looks great also! Great work on the review man! FYI you did an awesome job recording the sound samples!

I really liked the Edison reference, since I have been an Edison collector myself for over 20 years. I actually own more cylinders than LPs but that's a different story. Summer is almost over here but it was hot enough. Have a wonderful Sunday and THANK YOU for this great review!
So happy to see you have released a new video. Can't wait to check it out. Take care my friend.
FYI: I recently checked with Schiit and there is still no firm ETA on the release date for the Sol. 😭 OH well, hopefully it will be available by Christmas.

I can't wait for you to review the Nagaoka MP 150 & MP 200 cartridges. Also for the budget minded the AT 120 turntable.
Brother!
I have already done the MP-150 and MP-200 reviews in my Group C and Group D MM cart reviews!!!
Also, avoid the AT/Denon/Onkyo/Fluance/etc oem made decks from the same company.
@@HiViNywschannel OK, Thank you.
@@milesdufourny4813 it takes two to clap. Thank you too Brother🤗🤗🤗
Hello Ian, Once again you have made a fabulous new video am I'm always waiting for more. Great shootout for the NA marketplace on two nice entry level tables. I was not familiar with the new AT 40wn but it seems for a starter TT to be very well built and good sounding, only thing I would do is put on a Nag MP110. Once again great video. Hope you and the family are doing well my friend will speak again soon.
Dear Buddy Mark :-D first message from you to me so kindly, was on the Arcam rPhono review more than a year ago, and ever since, so regularly spending time with me. Thank you Brother.
Brother :-D, have fun always enjoying your Mani and MP-110 stupendous combination always!!!!! Me definitely, they always make me smile, grin widely and nod my head in full agreement and satisfaction!!!
Warmest Regards to you and your family too my friend, may they be well and happy!!!

Wow nice history lesson Edison and very first carts.
Great video as always Ian
Dear Buddy from Scotland, thank you very much for always coming to see me. I have just checked back, and our messages go back to more than 3 years ago on my P3 review video.
Brother, thank you.
Hope you are loving your MP110s on all your turntables and that MANI :-D
Warmest Regards and hope the weather is just nice and cool :-D and your family peaceful and fine.
~ ian.
Great Review, thank you! In NA prices have changed a bit, probably due to Covid and other supply chain issues. Currently the street prices are as follows, which I think makes a better argument for the AT. Also, the Essential III seems to be no longer available. The closest alternative from Pro-Ject is the T1.
AT-LPW40WN: $350 (with phono stage)
Pro-Ject T1 (closest alternative to Essential III): $450 (with phono stage)
Rega P1: $595
The T1 certainly looks interesting looking at the features, but only a review will tell. Still it's $100 more than the AT. The Rega is a ~$250 delta. I am sure it is worth it, but that certainly would be a big consideration for newbies, especially since you will need to add a phono pre-amp of a quality that makes sense for the P1, which would add ~$150. In addition, you would have to assume that folks have the downstream components to actually hear a difference, which is not necessarily the case with entry-level audiophiles.
Anyways, enjoyed the review. I got the AT for my 13-year old son and am glad it got the thumbs up.
Another excellent video, Ian! Thank you for your continued effort in making these videos:)
Dear Brudder :-D!!!! Enjoy your MoFI ULTRAdeck and MP-200!....oooh..must be VERY GRAND!!! Black and Yellow with that thicker substantial platter. Better finishing too than the StudioDeck (which already looks really grand!!!).
Warmest Regards and thank you for coming to see me gain Buddy!
~ ian.
Man, you to have deep pockets :). Thank you for spending and making this informative video. In my opinion the AT wins big time. No doubt about it. Cool to hear and see there are differences still in such products. People can make an educated choice now. One time I will replace my precious. By what? I can not decide yet. Cool video.
Dear Buddy Lars :-D great to see you again!!! I am very happy your whole family loves your Schiit Mani and MP-110!!! Your whole family is indeed vinyl-hooked!!!!

@@HiViNywschannel thank you my friend. Switched to nag mp 500 and just bought a gold note ph10 and psu10. Great stuff!!
Another great video. Let's see a cartridge review Nagaoka MP-200 vs AT540ML
Dear Buddy, the AT530 is already very poor in performance. Even worse than its predecessor. The Goldring Elektra or a Nagaoka MP-100 is even better than the AT540ML.
Having a micro line stylus does not make it a better cartridge. The base, the design, its whatever twin magnet, yolk structure, is all hype as these AT MM MM cartridges are poor for the money. The competitors at even lower prices can beat them to a pulp. Avoid the AT VM series 🤗🤗🤗
Stay safe and vigilant.
May you and your family be well and happy too😄🏡💚🍀🍀🍀
@@HiViNywschannel Thank you for the response my friend! I'm going with Nagaoka
Hi, any chance to see a riview of the AT LP5? Anyway, thank you so much for providing such high quality content in every single video. You're the best, man!

Really enjoy all your videos. Hope someday to see a review of of the Rega P1 vs the Canadian Fluance RT85, both of which are right around $500.00 in the US.
Dear Buddy :-D thank you for your kind words and enjoying my videos...
Yes i would be keen to get the rt84 to pit it against the P1. P1 is about $450 in the U.S. Thank you for coming by and lending in your kind support!!
Fluance is not sell in Europe. Never see in a shop

Dear Buddy :-D thank you for coming to see me again!! Hehheh!!!! A super solid Sansui in your house now!!!!! Hehheh...don't make me drool again Brother.... they are so yummy. I would love to have one!!!!!!!!!
I bought the Audio Technica recently to replace a old Pioneer PL335 which was starting to show it's age... mainly to use to record to vinyl to digital on my comp using Audacity with the inbuilt pre amp in the turntable and its quiet as a mouse...so I'm happy

On TH-cam, you are state of the art at reviewing turntables and cartridges.
Great Video to watch especially after Norwich beating Newcastle. Singapore always looks wonderful and HiFi stores to dream about. Not sure about Mimi's dropped comment, must be related to her thoughts on Project TT's perhaps.
Dear Buddy Derek, hehheh.... enjoy your your Norwich City post-match analyses. Your Pukki is now top scorer on the charts isn't he? Congratulations!!!
I love the reviews, as always. I’ll stick with my 40 year old gear. If something happens to the Pioneer, I’ll then be shopping.
AT easily wins this battle! Makes me want one as a secondary turntable! Another incredible, detailed video. Best audio review videos on TH-cam.

Dear Buddy :-D thank you for coming to see me! Your first message to me was two years ago on the Rega P3 2016 unboxing video :-D ...
Last month you asked about the P1 replacement of the tonearm wire. Hope you have found your answers. I do not have any hum issue at all with the P1. IGD of the P1 is nil because the tonearm is very well engineered with super smooth bearings and zero free play, and of course, with a nicely matched, great cartridge, with proper anti-skating adjusted accordingly with the HiFi News test record, IGD is non-existent.

Hay Ian! It's been too long, what's it been about a couple months since your last video! Good to see you again, Buddy! So far as the video, I can hear the difference with a "one piece " Bluetooth headset! That says a lot right there! But of course I've also listened to it with my proper gear!
Yes Buddy :-D!!! It has been 7 weeks!
Apologies to you and all my friends... but i am sure you all will emphatize with me:
My baby Moko suffered a ruptured right hind leg cranial cruciate ligament in late May, and finally arranged for a good surgeon to operate on her just in mid June. Two weeks thereafter, since early July, it has been a lot of travelling to bring her to the rehabiliation/physiotherapists' centre. Daily, a lot of work involved too to care for her and give her even more love and care. She is much better now :-) and feeling more positive, and even Mimi the Budgie cares for her! I made a postop bed and recovery bed for her, which you can see in the video. She will rest on it, and I can carry the whole thing around in the house so that she doesn't need to tire out after intensive exercises. She is much better now.
Thank you!!!
Hehhehh.... definitely easy to hear this one!!! The difference, indeed, is stark between the two decks here.
Brother, thank YOU! for coming by to see me!!!
Warmest Regards,

@@HiViNywschannel I absolutely understand brother! You take care of yourself and family first and foremost , everything else should take a backseat! I hope your kid makes a full recovery and feels better! Thank you, Ian!
Great video-THANK YOU! Not to make your life more complicated, but can you get Fluance turntables where you are? They are what I would look at in this price range in the USA
Dear Tim, thank you very much for catching up again! Brother, thank you for your suggestion, i will hope to pick one up in the near future. The Fluance will be very expensive for us in the rest of the world, in Europe, Britain, South America, Asia, Africa, Australia and NZ, taking into account shipping fees, handling fees and import taxes. But you are right, it is an option N.A. friends would be looking at. I will take heed. Thank you very, very much Buddy Tim :-)

can still hear the almost trademark AT motor hum, once you hear it it's game over for AT...currently own an AT LP 5, and it has a cogging noise from the motor, and hum if i use the supplied 95EX cartridge....i upgraded foolishly to a AT520 EB cart and on certain records it has very bad feedback / ringing and that is with the speakers on the other side of the room and the tt on spikes and granite shelf...currently using a cheap rega carbon with reduced isses other than the cogging noise...deffinately going to buy a rega p2 in the near future....
Dear Buddy, thank you for catching up! You are right, there is a slight hum with most AT decks, but here, on overall, it still beats the essential3 unfortunately.
Thank you for your time writing to me again Buddy. Thank you for your kindness.
I appreciate it my friend. I learn from your experience.
Warmest Regards,
~ ian.
@@HiViNywschannel I agree, and more times than not that can be eliminated when you buy an AC suppressor. Most DC hum is not from the motor but the line noise in the AC. I use the Hum-X for all of my equipment, and none of my turntables have any hum. Maybe address the problem rather than blaming the electronics.
IAN!!!!! Guess what FINALLY went on sale today? Starts with Schi...and ends with ...ol. I just ordered mine. It's stupid, but I really want to check this sucker out. We've been waiting so long. Cheers!!!
Brother!!!! I just woke up an hour ago!👋😄👍
@@HiViNywschannel I received the Sol yesterday and am in the process of assembling it. "Stupidly" I forgot to order the cartridge first (MP-200) so that won't arrive until tomorrow. Should make for a great weekend of testing. I'll let you know what I think about it. Take care my friend and I'll talk to you soon. 👽🖖"Na-nu"
Put together by you these turntables should go up in value 😀 really hope you get a lot back from what you paid. All the work and effort you put into this is just wow. Me, even when I am not interested in a special video (which barely happens) , I always enjoy the content. It’s like a hello from an old friend. You are looking good, so I assume you are doing good, too. Greetings Elderin
Again Buddy! Guten Tag with your SF+S3000+Ansuz! Dear Buddy, things are not exactly well. My little daughter sustained a ruptured right hind leg Cranial Cruciate Ligament in late May, and operation (TPLO operation) was done in mid June, and since then, i have been heartbroken about her inability to fully use her right hind leg. She is getting better, and my wife and i have brought her to the rehab centre regularly ever since every week. Thank you for your concern.
Brother, enjoy your super suave system the SAS :-D, you must be on cloud nine everyday with analogue bliss too!

Great channel thank you. Ever thought of reviewing the project 2xpression SB?
Thank you for your suggestion Brother!... 😄.. thank you for catching up!!!!! Merry Christmas and happy holidays my friend!!!🎶🎵🎄🎶🎉🎊🎉🎉
@@HiViNywschannel happy Christmas to you!
@@fmor77 See you my friend🤗🤗🤗
Very hepfully!! Thanks for these reviews so iluminating
Thank you too my friend...
My hard earned money used to do these reviews...asking for nothing except to help vinyl friends to choose wisely,
And,
Enjoy our precious vinyl music.
Yes, Ian, would also love to see reviews of Fluance RT-85! Any chance of getting a Rega P8 and MOFI Ultradeck loaner for review?
Dear Buddy :-D great to see you!!! Thank you for coming to catch up with me!!! Thank YOU!!! Hope you have been doing well my friend!!!! The Fluance is OEM made probably by the same Hanpin company that makes the TEAC TN-300, Denon DP300F and Onkyo CP1050, etc :-D Nevertheless i will plan to have a Fluance up against a U-Turn asap. Yup, if it materalizes, both are of course purchased from my own pocket and never ever sponsored. I reject all sponsorships :-) so as to maintain 100% honesty to all of you my friends. You guys are the only people, the only reason i am making these projects and videos for. My only allegiance is to you friends and buddies.
Warmest Regards and have a great vinyl'ing journey ahead!!! We rock on :-D

Ian, I enjoy your your honest reviews of different componets. It is easy to distinguish the differences in sound between components in your videos. Where can I find information on your reference system (speakers, tt, phono preamp, cartridge, etc?)
Dear Buddy :-D wow YEAH!!! Vinyl Rules!!!!!!!!!! Indeed :-D hahaha hi five!!!!
Brother, my system is in no way compared to many richer guys out there....so my humble system should be easily researched under google keywords search. Best Regards Buddy!!! And thank you for catching up with me!
Have fun my friend :-D
