Hi King,

Well I'll have the Lentek by the end of the week, so all will be revealed....

Like I said, perhaps it's just nostalgic rose-tinted bias from when I used it fondly in the 80s (after all, our benchmark in audio for what is considered as 'excellent' constantly improves), but I remember that it matched the DL-103 exceptionally well. Perhaps there was just very good synergy with that cartridge?

The bottom line is that if it gets anywhere near the A23 (or the HA-500 I sold to Giovanni), sonically in my system, then it'll be a total bargain - or perhaps a waste of £60.... We shall see. It's just a bit of fun, really!

Marco.
