easy to set up and good sound when i used it with nagaoka mp 50. mine was the stainless steel version. sorry to say you could tell it was handmade and some poor components used in some area's, ie the connecting cable failed after only a few hours use.

Stainless version. Not as bad as people try to make out. Sonically a lightweight Mission 774. It gets most things right and actually works well with a Denon DL304. Delicate feel though and not the best build quality. A fidget to set up, but I like it.
