Heed Audio Questar MM
Boosting a record player's weakling signal before it gets to an amplifier is a job Hungarian specialist Heed Audio has been doing for a good few years now, and the Questar might be its best effort yet.
A moving magnet or moving coil design (we tested MM), the Questar majors on natural, fluent and lyrical musicality.
It doesn't offer the wide-open soundstage of some competitors, but the verve with which it approaches tempo and timing, the convincing lucidity of its low frequencies and the effortless manner it integrates voices more than compensate. If your system justifies the outlay, you'll find hours of satisfaction here.
