I don't think you can buy the Accession MM with the green power supply well it doesn't say so on the GS website. Don't forget you can save money by using the PSU1 you have with a GS headphone amp. I have the Solo and it's well worth using the PSU1 with it.
Reflex M, Solo (both with PSU-1) CuSat50, Lautus, Spatia & Spatia links cables. Ortofon Bronze.

Another thought: Would it be possible to buy the Accession MM with the "green" power supply and save a few £££? I'm only asking because I already have a PSU1 for my GA2SE. I have yet to decide what to do with the GA2SE, but I think a basic power supply would be OK for it.
Or is that a cheeky thing to ask? Big smile

Just realised it's been six months since my last post and still no decision. Or, actually I have decided to go for the Accession. My problem is now is that I also need a headphone amp. Wink
Think I'll have to get one of them now and the other at a later time.

The Reflex is well worth a try too & is a bit of a bargain.
Good luck with the trial.
 

Thanks for your reply and sorry for my late response. The summer has been spent focusing more on family stuff than hifi matters.
Come autumn I will have more time for music and will come to a decision on this.

Thank you both. Always interesting to hear how others have done it. I think what it tells me is what part of me knew already: I'll have to try to get a loan of both to see how they work in my system.
Considering how good the Gram Amp 2 SE is, it's exciting to think what could be achieved at the higher price ranges of The Reflex and the Accession.

Thanks for your reply. What type of arm and cartridge do you use? I know this is a difficult question, but is it possible to describe the difference between the Reflex and the Accession? Is it a question of refinement and detail, or are they also somehow different in character? 
The PTP6 L75 has been used with a Rega RB301 and Audio Note IQ2 cartridge. The arm will be replaced in July by an Audiomods Series 6. I’ve never tried to compare the Reflex and the Accession. I got the Accession, unplugged the Reflex and gave it to my son to replace his Genera (I now have two Genera I built doing nothing). The biggest wow I’ve ever got from buying a new bit of kit was when I bought the Reflex M and stopped using the phonostage built into my then (now my son’s) Roksan Kandy LIII, but you’re starting at a higher level than I did.
