That Bluepoint 2 cartridge is bright in itself. A silver cable will only add to the brightness and the sound may become hard and thin. I would look for a more neutral cable or something on the slightly warm side of neutral.

Thanks for all the replies . I ended up placing an order with Ivan . I ordered the WW Silver 8 . He gave me a great deal for the 1.5m set .

Congratulations. An excellent phono IC. Keep us posted on your initial thoughts and after its broken-in.

Just slipped the Silver Eclipse 8 into the system . Not a huge difference but so far I like it . We will see as it settles in.
Next is a cartridge. |

I haven’t been home long enough to really get the cables broken in . Before I left home I also replaced the Cartridge with a Hana ML . I can’t wait to get this all running smoothly together after a lengthy brake in . I did notice a drop in bass response with the Hana, for the better I believe . The Blue point was very boomy and unnatural. The Hana is smooth as silk , no sibilance or harshness what so ever . I still have to play around with the VTA a bit to really get it dialed in . As far as the cables go I’m happy and will more than likely switch out all the cables to WW . Speaker cable next.

I use a Purist Audio Design – Poseidon RCA cable 1,5m between my C49 preamp and my MT5.
Good sounding combination. |

Shunyata Venom phono cable: https://shunyata.com/products/analog...s/venom-phono/
The Venom series punches WAY above its price point.

Am also very pleased with my WW Platinum 8 phono cable.
Eclipse Silver bi-wire speaker cables made a profound improvement in my system. More than I could ever have imagined. They replaced some pretty decent cables. That said, I'm glad I only had to purchase one pair. Very much worth 'biting the bullet' for.

hi Shindo
Massive cartridge upgrade. Blue Point #2 is a terrible sounding cartridge. But that's just my opinion. Enjoy your new Hana. Tom
