Yes, much better
The Elac looks interesting, but the 20 mV output would worry me!

In 1957 ELAC patents an electro-magnetic pick-up which established them as a world leader in pickups. They license it to companies around the world including Shure. Further development of this technology led to what becomes known as Moving-Magnet cartridge systems or simply MM. By the late 1960s, ELAC hi-fi magnet pick-ups had tracking forces below 10 mN (approximately 1 gm).

I got one of these for £140. They are very very good for the money. Way better Than the 3009 I was using previously.

I've got one of these as well. Same dims as a Rega I believe. Very simple to use with lots of vta. Sound very good with a decent mm.

I'm rather fond of the ADC. Build quality is excellent and I like its simplicity, honesty plus it is a bit of a looker too

The Hadcock is the better arm, but much more fiddly to set up. 'tis worth it though.
If you want simple set up the ADC is the biz.

Possibly not a bargain, depending on what sort of an offer seller would accept. But they do look in wonderful condition
