I agree with David MC can be very expensive and some good MM carts can be as good as an entry level MC carts and you don't have the expense of re tipping or replacing the cart (but then I know some would not entertain MM) because they say MC carts are superior sound wise

Many will disagree of course but I've never heard any "budget" sub-$1K MC that impressed me much. The best MCs I've heard cost thousands of dollars, well beyond what is practical for me. The combo of a good MM and a G.S. preamp work very well for me. For now, I don't bother with MC and enjoy my records and MM/MI carts.

I adored my Ortofon 2M Black - Reflex M combo, but it always made me wonder how much better things could get. Accession MC and a Rega Apheta 2 bury it musically and in terms of hifi type assessments. As it should considering the cost.
However, the fundamental musical correctness of the Slee electronics I think is at the heart of getting the most from either technology Mick.

Thank you all for your comments. I guess that the discussion
on MM & MC is a never ending one. I become more and more convinced to stick
with MM and try to get the best out of it and leave MC for the future (though I
doubt it).
Any thought, comments, concerns regarding the following options would be very helpful - Gram amp 2 se; - Gram amp 2 se with PSU1 - Era gold V - Reflex M (second hand at about € 500, if any) At an earlier post I’ve said that I would like to keep it lower than € 500, but 3 out of the 4 options above are at € 500 (and possibly slightly higher)… |

I am not going add to the MM v MC debate as I have no experience with MC carts. All I know is it's expensive.
Yannis I would say stick to your budget and get the Gram amp2 se it is vary good (and see how you get on with it) If you are happy with it then add the PSU1. Or what about this, buy the GA2 se and buy more new music it is what HiFi is for, listening to "music". Do let us all know what you end up with. HAPPY LISTENING
