It's not a Michell Grant it's a Germam Transrotor, they used Michell parts. That model is special to me as it's basically a 'Focus One' with 'Hydraulic' platter

looks quite good
The MC25FL is more or less on a par quality wise with the ZYX R50 Bloom in my book, although they sound very different. I had both until recently (blowed if I know where my MC25FL has got to :scratch:) and compared them several times.
To me, the ZYX maybe sounds a bit bigger and even more expansive, but the Ortofon is better detailed at the top and has more 'sparkle' (just).
They're both lovely cartridges.
Ho Ho. You'll have fun with that! Especially if you try what I did. Now all you need is an X-10D. All good entertainment and the results are not what you'd expect. You'd think with that many links in the chain, something would suffer. Not the case. It works a treat!
And before the more 'highbrow' amongst us start 'poo pooing'. You haven't heard it on my system! So there! :lol:
i wish i new what you two were talking about :)
