I bought the Sumiko Pearl last year and I love it, but I recently bought the Blue Point No. 3 (low output) and after I got it broke in I'm loving it! I wanted the Songbird, but the price was too high for my budget. Not too many people talk about Sumiko carts, but I do!

Does this support CEC Volume Control (Consumer audio control) via HDMI ARC input? I need to use my Yamaha HS5 Studio Monitors with my TV. My TV (Hisense 55U6G) supports CEC. But I'm not sure if SMSL PS-100 supports CEC to be able to control the output from the RCA jacks via TV's Remote Control. Can you please let me know.

Every single K11 could be faulty. Connect it to your PC, change output format to something higher or just go all the way to 32bit/384Khz and play some bassy EDM songs. The audio cuts off whenever some bass frequencies hit a certain volume. Wanna trigger this issue at full potential? Open Audacity, create a 50hz tone at full amplitude, export it, play it with whatever you want but make sure the volume is at 100%, set the pre-amp to about -3.5dB in Equalizer APO. If it still makes a normal sound, then congrats. Your unit somehow works perfectly fine. There is a lot of people complaining about this issue though. Would be cool if you could try this out.

Wow, just got my pair today, I haven't bought this style of headphone in a very long while, times most definitely have changed, I was feeling nostalgic for the old days(80's-mid 90's) They sound unbelievable and that's just using the 3.5 jack, I purchased a FiiO KA17 and a 4.4mm to 2.5mm Balanced cable(overkil I know) but I wanted a very lightweight set up for portable use, I don't like in ear headphones because they wont stay in and the ones that do start to hurt, I also have larger headphones but got tired of carrying and wearing them for portable use, now I'm taking a more minimalist on ear approach

Thanks for all your shootouts! A couple of years ago, after watching your review of the Vista Audio Phono 2 preamp, I bought one. I have been running an Ortofon 2m Blue with good results. My Ortofon Blue probably has close to 1000 hours on it so will make another purchase this year. My turntable is a Technics 1710 with a tonearm effective mass of 16g (without a cart). Do you think the HANA EH would be a good match for the 1710's tonearm? I was also considering the Ortofon Bronze but the cost jump to the HANA isn't too much more than the Bronze. Thanks!

Looking past compliance I generally like moving coils over moving magnet designs. You might want to try the denon dl-103 to see if that works with your arm. The 2M bronze is a huge step up over the blue with great soundstage but analytical. Hana is a great cartridge that is not offensive at all.

@@ThriftShopReviews Thanks. The only thing that I would be concerned about the dl-103 is the spherical tip design especially since I'm playing on very expensive record collections. I might jump to the Hana which is a moving coil.
