Hi Yannis,
I have a similar setup to you Rega Planar 3 (although a little modded now), NEO PSU and a Brio amp. 

I have a Gram Amp2 SE with a PSU1 and have been delighted with it. I am running a AT VM750SH which is way better than the Elys and the Exact I had before. I changed the cartridge first and then the phono next.

I wish I had demo'd the Reflex M before buying the GA but I am not disappointed with the sound quality I now have. 

Glenn

Thank you all for your comments.
I know about the loan program but I think that it is rather late given the changes after January 1st 2021.
Kevin, I would describe myself as a music lover. It is an expensive hobby, there are always budget restrictions (especially now with the covid) and this budget should also cover buying records. I agree that there are very good MM cartridges out there and I would be more than fine with them.

The European loaner program distributes the products within Europe, and has no connection with the UK, except for enthusiasm which knows no borders.

Indeed it does. I am based in France, so happy to help now, or after the 1st January. Nothing changes for the European scheme.

By “late” I mean that I have to make a buying decision soon, to avoid any extra charges. The loan program is an excellent idea but it would be difficult for me to make use of it, given my work schedule until the end of the year.

If it ends up being WTO rules, then we take off the UK VAT, and you pay the equivalent at your end.

Give the loan program a shot when you have the time. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. 

RE: MM vs. MC, my opinion is that unless you are prepared to spend quite a bit on an MC cartridge and then again when it needs to be retipped, forget MC. Get a good MM cart instead. 

My 2 cents...
