The Lentek was a beer budget head amp at the time, believe it it not...
And yet it cost around £50 in the 70s? Wasn't £50 quite a lot of money then - like you say, around £300 now?

The A23 only costs £100 more than that today..... Aren't you contradicting yourself just a little, old chap?

The Entre was a well known (at the time) cartridge with s sound which my then manager summarised as, "An envelope of softness." After a year or so, the balance was livened up, but went gritty with it - less "nice."
Ah, right - I've not heard of it.

Look out for a Moth "Black-Head." I remember them being a very capable cheap SUT...
Will do. Thing is, I'm very happy with the A23. The only reason I entertained the Lentek was to see if what I remembered of it from the 80s resembled what I would hear now, and in that respect I'm more than pleased

Marco.
