The Music Maker is certainly worth considering. Very good particularly on acoustic music and vocals.
Good dynamic abilities too. It can be quite fussy about vinyl condition and setup though, the IQs are easier to setup & track better - at least in the arms I've used. |

I'm currently leaning toward the IQ-1. My thinking being that in due course the stylus could replace my current G1042 stylus and I could then replace the IQ-1 stylus with either and IQ-2 or 3 stylus.
I'm happy to steer clear of fussy setup.

Ifor I originally bought an IQ1 & upgraded the stylus assembly to an IQ3 after a few months.
The IQ1 stylus is no longer being used - try it out if you wish & we could sort out a price if it fits the bill. It's had no more than 150-200 hours use. |

No problem. Starting with the IQ1 & upgrading the stylus to a 2 or 3 later is a very good plan.
These MMs are almost as good as you can get without hitting the law of diminishing returns with £1000+ MCs. |

So how much are they? Struggling to find a price over here, and I was tempted to go for. €1k MC, but if people have already tread that path, then I am happy to take advice and benefit from experience.
