I went from the SE2 to the Reflex M and I share the same feeling as you in that I think SE2 should not be ignored too and If I did not have the funds for the Reflex M I would still be happy with the SE2 today. I also took advantage of the loan system and I am now a owner of the Lautus cables. I also like the fact I'm buying British made which is vary hard to do now a days in anything let alone HiFi, As most things are designed here and then made else where because it's cheaper, well if Graham Slee can do it why can't others do it ???.  


Reflex M, Solo (both with PSU-1) CuSat50, Lautus, Spatia & Spatia links cables. Ortofon Bronze.

I feel like the MM Accession/Enigma has now benefited from 10 days of being alive. It has to go back in a few days but I pretty much feel that this will be my next stage, however......

My cart is a HOMC. A very good HOMC, but HO all the same. there are a couple of things that are niggling me.

1 as it a HOMC as it really a fit with the Accession MM?
2 Is the  Sumiko BB HO pretty much on par with the LOMC?

https://sumikophonocartridges.com/product/blackbird-high-mc-phono-cartridge/
https://sumikophonocartridges.com/product/blackbird-low-mc-phono-cartridge/

3 Do I wait until in I need a new MC, and then buy a LOMC cart and then buy an Accession?
4 I wonder how the Reflex sounds? Wink

What I do have to say is thank you so much for the Company for the chance to bed the stage into my system for the last two weeks. I doff my cap.....and secondly, yes the Accession is a great stage, however it also shows that the Era Gold V really is still a great stage that should not be ignored at that price.

Haven't heard the Accession, but since the two units are two different designs and only the Accession has the patented version of RIAA EQ, I would expect them to sound different. 

What one prefers is usually down to the individual. 
SL-1200 MK7 (modified) + Reflex M + PSU-1 used with AT150-40ML, AT VM95ML, Stanton 680mkII + Ogura, and Shure M35X cartridges.

I've noticed a few comments here and elsewhere (they're in the minority, but there's been enough to give me pause for thought) from people who either don't notice a justifiable improvement in the Accession over the Reflex or even prefer what the reflex does.

Nothing strange about that, we all like what we like. I do wonder though whether possibly some other component in their hi-fi meant a difference wasn't appreciable.

So I'd love to hear the thoughts of those who have a preference for the Reflex over the Accession where they know for sure this wasn't the explanation. Do the two have individual 'characters' or 'signatures'?

lol thank you. Whilst testing on the Accession MM with Enigma vs my EGV  with PSU1 at the weekend, I may just do that. See what hits the sweet spot with HO MC cartridge I use.

Cheers
