Ignore the titanium ones, it's just 'titanium look' paint finish on alloy that you pay premium for, there's no advantage. You can have one of my silver cast alloy ones for a fiver.Originally Posted by Nicks951

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Sounds like you need an Alphason!
All are Linn-mount and even the Opal will wipe the floor with a Linn Basik Plus IMHO! Buy the best model you can afford and enjoy it.

I had a feeling that might be the case with those. I’m going to venture into the loft sometime soon to see if I can find the old LV-V. If I do I’ll get back to you on the headshell.
Thanks for the advice!

Hi Ian,
Sorry I missed your reply to this thread!
Which Techno and how much? If it’s still with you of course.
Do they fit into a Linn sized hole? I know some of them are based on Regas aren’t they ?
Cheers
Nick
