Bought my Majik after head to head comparison with a McIntosh MT10. Majik hands down better sound and the price diff left me enough room to get Lingo2 & black plinth. Very happy with the sound. Musical and precise. I recently improved my rig by upgrading to Radical which includes power supply and motor change to DC. Really good improvement in low mid and bass crispness and precision. Noticeably better background depth/silence. Next upgrade is toss up between cartridge or arm. But don't conclude that my upgrading is due to dissatisfaction. After hearing the full blown LP12, there are a number of improvements that are available and effective. Footfall is there but it's an annoyance as opposed to a real shortcoming. But good setup is important just like any quality component.
