A treat from Russia arrived, really like the look of Micro Seiki gear but can't afford a full machine in one go.
Headshell first then maybe the rest of a tonearm when one comes up. I don't think there is a huge technical improvement, but they are so damn pretty.
And a new cart, nagaoka mp200. Surprisingly it didn't make the probably 40 year old but low hours stanton 681eee sound awful (stanton is more party for sure), on worn records yeah not a huge difference. On fresher stuff, wow she does well, great with vocals but what i would say you notice the most is the speed? It delivers each sound very quickly.
Flicking between high res digital versions and a fresh record version of the same track, yeah the digital has more about it in general (especially low and low mid range) , but the difference isn't a mile apart, without a/b switching Im Sure I wouldn't notice.
The old technics is doing a very good job, for the same spend as fluance top machine with comes with an ortofon blue or red I think.
