Any thoughts or any one lucky enough to hear both?

Thanks in advance

Couldn't hold off on my dream cartridge, the Ortofon MC Anna. Just picked one up 2 days ago. What a wonderful sounding record player, love it.

Better to put the Anna on a bardo. The 10.5 is significantly better than the V in every respect bar one (lack of treble zing). Have you considered PMC speakers to go with your bryston kit? You will find its a big advance on the focal and match the bryston well. Go for an IB2 at least
