Don't tempt me, Marco !!!
Since, I started hifi I promised myself never get into the MC "stuff". Not because of any questioning of quality, no. Simply because I had few ££ to spend on hifi and each £ spent had to be overly-optimized.
But now, it's not the case anymore, so...
Anyway, I guess I'll have to listen to a "proper" MC setup to decide. But don't tempt me !

Bollocks.... If I remember rightly, it came in a kind of black powder-coated metal box with a little silver toggle switch on the front, and it was powered by a 9V battery
I remember the combo I had in the early 80s of the Ariston RD11s/Linn Basik LVV (with heavy AT magnesium headshell)/DL-103 into the MM phono stage of the Sondex S-230, with the Lentek head amp, was sublime!
