cdenyer,
just so happens I've got one coming from Music Direct.
It,s my intro to an MC.
Can't be too critical about it . Paid $289.00 delivered. Cost more elsewhere.
Tracks at 1.5 gs optimum. Microline stylus.
If it resembles the at440 ml without the cheap plastic resonating cheapo bass that I can't except It'll already pay for itself. Yes it tends to be on the bright side from 8000hertz up , but I can tweak it with the flexible VMPS!
Great entry, no snobbiness .
I'll report on it
