Should i sell my Ortofon Windfeld?

Indeed Martin you are correct, that was my mistake, my observations MC carts lowish outputs should have been my suggestion. Not really listened to a MM that has said buy me, but as always ymmv

How would the 2M LV compare with a MC for this sort of price??

In my opinion, yes. Not sure what the love is for the 103. It boogies well, but it won’t give the detail of the 2MB LVB 250.
My 103 was modified beyond all recognition, and I eventually sold it as it was a clear mismatch in my set up.
It was rebodied, boron canti with a Shibata, so far from a standard 103. If detail is your thing, you need to look elsewhere.

Well that's not true tbf.......

Is it possible to go backwards though? I mean I haven't heard it really so the damage isnt done yet

What we need is an MM/MI bake off.

The Denon 103 is pretty Sh#t in any guise IMO.

Why there is such an obsession about them I will never know, mind you, I don't get the love for springy or idler drive turntables either.

it's got the big bass and shiny top end and it paints in broad strokes. Some people like that compared  to your 'forensic' Audio Technica type of sound. I had a demo of one in my system and it wasn't for me.

That's why I rate Nagaoka as they have all the good attributes of both and none of the downsides. There's no way I'd pay the prices these days though, the whole format just isn't value for money anymore.

ten years ago you could still pick up decent first pressings for a fiver or a tenner, new stylus was £120 twice a year, it wasn't too crazy. Now your looking at a grand a year just in cartridges, when you can buy digital front end for half that which comfortably outperforms any turntable set up at any price and you don't have to buy it again every year.

Just doesn't make sense to me unless you're seriously loaded.

Keep it - it's never going to be worth less than what it is worth now. If you do decide you want to use it at least you'll have it; you won't get another one if you let this one go.

I'd say just get on and use it but it's easy for me to say.

Wait ya turn 

That's actually a very good point.

I reckon that the AT VM95ML will give a 103 a good run for the money.
A VM540ML would be even better.

Both for less, and you can change the stylus when worn.

I agree with you on that one Kevin.

I think i read that statement three times before I was convinced I'd read it correctly.

Downgrade the SP10? Why would I do that??

The difference in performance between cartridges is nowhere near the performance differences in turntables.

In fact, when you get a turntable like this one, cartridges are give the optimal condition in which to perform. Many carts are better than people think, especially when you look at the combination of TT and arm they were used on to evaluate them!

I'm slightly perplexed by the notion that I should downgrade to TT too.

Agree with what you are saying about the SP10 letting cartridges perform to their best. When I heard Angus's SP10 with PHAT Mk8 arm play the Windfeld it was a truly amazing experience, however the AT he then used sounded very good, but we know that the Windfeld was much, much better. For me I am happy with something somewhere between the performance of both of the cartridges.
