Hi everyone. I'm not going to reveal how I know, because I want to respect Ian's privacy (I do not know why he has quit posting or commenting on KZitem, I do not speak to him personally). However, I know with absolute certainty that Ian and his family are alive and well. I don't know why people would spread rumors of his death, but it is absolutely not true. Whatever the case is, he is definitely alive and I hope he decides to return to us some day.

I hope you're right. In general, when someone who was very active on KZitem before and responded to all comments all of a sudden doesn't post any new videos and doesn't respond to anything anymore, It's not too surprising people will start to speculate about a possible death. I sure hope that's not the case and he's alive and well as you say.

I knew 2021 was going to bring good things. And, then it brought you! Reading the reviews and discussion of this LP Gear cart line on the Steve Hoffman forum, it seems that this cart can take several hours for the cantilever to "break in"... up to two weeks. Even then, I am not sure it is worth the effort. I have a hunch that at the entry level price level, a well executed MI cart will predictably trounce a comparably priced MM cart; just as this comparison review demonstrates. MI is inherently faster and more dynamic. This benefit is set in high relief in a budget execution with AL cantilevers and simple needle shapes. It warms my heart to see you in fine fettle, the wife, and family as well. Stay rested, and enjoy the little things, Ian. May 2021 shower you and yours with good fortune and health.

We also love the number of record stores available, especially in Japan, such as Recofan, Disk Union, Tower Records and many others ... We realize how much you like Brazilian music, like Elis Regina, Tom Jobim, Vinícius de Moraes, João Gilberto and others. It was really geniuses that are sorely missed these days.

Glad to have you back! You really do have a big influence. When I started looking turntables your videos have been really useful. I bought Rega P2 after looking at your reviews about Rega P1, but Bought P2 to get to the next level. I changed to Goldring E3 as the price in the UK is almost half cheaper than Nagaoka that you have recommended. I believe that the difference would not justify the double price. Your video was really helpful as I was able to hear what the difference is. I also got Mani after your video and the difference that it made was huge. I have Yamaha Avantage series AV amp that they claim is really good also for stereo amplification. I would like to upgrade my stereo amplification to Rega Elicit-R. I have a home theatre system as well, so I will still need my Av amp. Would you be able to do a comparison between 2 Ch and Av amp from the same price range? I have been trying to find a good one, but can't find anything that would be a good comparison. Also, I'm considering if there would be any benefit to upgrading the cable from tonearm to preamp? My current system. Rega P2, Goldring E3, Phono amp Mani, Speakers Dynaudio Emit M30. Speaker cables Audio Quest Rocket 22. Thank you for making these videos.

So funny, I JUST posted a reply on your previous old video, and there's a new one! Fantastic! So good to see you guys again! I really missed your candid reviews. You really don't hold back ;) I love that! Never heard of the Vessel A3SE before though! My MP-110 is a bit broken. It has distortion in the outer and inner groves. Probably because my 5 kg cat jumped on it (really, ON the cartridge) when I was playing a record. So the stylus actually sanded off half of the record surface! I looked at it closely, but it still works! Unfortunately, my wife decided to leave last april, so there's no more money to buy a new one. Perhaps a MP-100.. It is a shame though, in a restored TD-124 with that great Jelco SA-750DB arm. But hey, they won't be going anywhere! The Luxman R-1500E is a solid state amp from 1978 (the van der Veen is a valve amp) WITH built in phono-preamp! Which actually sounds better than the Schiit Mani! Okay, it used to be 2000 euros in todays money (about $2400). But, in 1978 parts were cheaper, they sold more units and labour was cheaper, so the sound of the Luxman is quality wise pretty close to the valve amp (but not quite. But the valve amp needs to be properly warmed up, running on the highest setting, and playing at 80+ dB, otherwise, I usually prefer the Luxman).. Well, until next time!!

YOU'RE BACK YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH You know, I just had the opportunity to listen to my Mani after my SL1200 came back from the repair shop, and it's thanks to your channel that I'm able to listen to such great music from it! Now I only have to change my cartridge and I'm golden! I'm having to choose between the mp-100 , mp-110 and some Audio Technics newer models AT-VM95'xx'; but thanks to your channel I'm heaving inclining to the nagaoka's 110, only fear being that it may be too neutral/dark for my taste

HIIIIII BUDDY!!!!😄😄😄😄😄🖖🖖🖖YEAH may we all live long and prosper!!!!! Get the Nags they're much more transparent and revealing!!and at the same time supremely musical!!! AT not good with MM carts..... I would avoid. Nagaoka MM and Goldring 1000 series MM technologies and designs are much better!!!

@@HiViNywschannel Ian, I'm doing pros and cons here of both, and the Nagas are taking the victory! There is only one thing that bothers me: distortion (IGD and other types). I've been admiring the VM95ML from AT for being microlinear and thus tracking perfectly (although they are a bit too flat for my taste). I have small fear that the lower nagas (mp100 to 150) still have some residual IGD. I am very susceptible to it, because I listen with headphones; what do you think? And as always, thank you!

The reason why I suspect Ian is not doing reviews any longer is probably letters from the cartridge manufacturers to stop critically reviewing their products? Ian reviews of cartridges & equipment were thorough and comprehensive. At the end of the reviews, he chose which cartridge sounded better and I think the cartridge manufacturers didn't like that? (Cutting into their revenue?)Ian had good ears, and he was that good! Plus, Ian did a service for the consumer by seeking out value in these products! Now that's power! And I further say Ian was perhaps the first "Audiophile" influencer on KZitem? LOL! I miss him!
