Bob - thanks for your impressions of the AccMC, it sounds like a superb piece of kit.
Tough decision to make now for existing Accession owners wanting to add MC capabilities to it.
Go for the new box at around £1500 (?) or add an Elevator to the Accession MM at less than half that.
Having recently heard the Elevator/Accession combo I was set on going that route.

It's an even tougher decision for those who are already Elevator and Accession owners Cry Do they stick with what they have or go the one box route? It remains to be seen (heard?) whether there are any sonic advantages and, if so, will they be worth the extra financial outlay...let's wait and see

As an upgrade from a Fanfare or Reflex C, the AccMC would be a no-brainer. For AccMM+EXP users I'd say an audition is a necessity. 

Everyone will have their own ideas about how much the extra outlay is worth it. Plus the general scarcity of GSP gear on the secondhand market should mean that if you want to move kit on to finance a new purchase you should get a good price for it . . . Wink

Yea Bob the forum or eBay should be able to move (loved but) unwanted gear on

Whilst my colours are nailed to the moving coil mast the other variable for some could be that if buying the acc mc then back to MM could be more tricky. At present I can unplug the elevator.

Indeed! But don't forget the "AccDuo" -MM/MM or MM/MC (or even MC/MC) - which is hopefully on the cards. I'm hanging out for the MM/MC to put both my study turntables through . . Wink

Not sure quite what Graham's line of thought is on the Acessions duo/MC but if this had an inbuilt upgrade ability it would be helpful. Whilst I don't have any perceived need for duo or MM only option a box with the ability to would be good for some?
