The reviewer Graham Budd used an Audio Note IQ3 for his review of the Accession on TNT mentioned
in the recent thread.
It works superbly with the Reflex M too - I use that combo. Great tracking ability with no fuss & bother
on busy music at side ends. Like Ian Botham once was - a top quality all-rounder!
It's possible to start with the IQ1 - which is excellent in itself - & upgrade the stylus assembly to IQ2 & 3.

I can second that comment Rich (I use an IQ3 with the Accession & sometimes Reflex M). The IQ2 stylus is extremely similar sounding & even a Goldring 1042 stylus in the IQ body sounds great and tracks just as well.

Leonard is, if you ask him nicely. Just bought an MM3 for a round £700, to which I am greatly looking forward. I'm assured by one-and-all that an Audiomods pick-up arm, the MM and a phono amp from Graham will all play very nicely together, thank you very much!

Len G. is quite keen on Our Man's phono stages & the Audiomods is one of the best arms for the MM3.
Enjoy it.Wink

I haven't heard the IQ1-3 but do own a well used Music Maker III which I thought sounded great before I played a lot of records on it. I think I got it for £650 but that was about five years ago.

Len Gregory gave me an excellent trade in deal on my old MM for a Musicmaster a while ago.
The Musicmaster is a refinement of the MM3 & Classic & is one of the best carts I've had the
pleasure to own. It is an excellent partner with Audiomods arms & the ReflexM & Accession.
 I believe Len G sells this by reputation & word of mouth as it is not advertised.

Am I right in understanding that MusicMaker cartridges don’t have a user replaceable stylus?
