As I love to play around with tonearms and Carts, it became obvious , that my AF3P cannot provide enough space.
My remaining Micro Seiki Turntables could not meet the performance of the AF3P.
But a crosscheck with the AF V showed, that the little thing from TechDAS is very very good.
As some of my Micro Seiki were rare collectables, I sold some and bought the AF V instead.
All of my gunmetal Micro Seiki Tonearm bases do fit AF3P and AF V too, so I can quickly interchange them.
* BIG FUN*
I would say, that AF V is underestimated, had the old AF3 in my home just once, so no real A to B comparison,
but from my memory I would not see a big difference between old AF3 and AF V.
AF3P is still a bigger step, if listened to them with the same tonearm, as SME 3012R.
But if the AF3P has a more simple tonearm and the AF V a more premium tonearm, the differences become relatively small and the AF V underlines his good value.
Actually it is a hard decision, if the AF V will stay in my main room with the Maxx 3 or will become the main source in my "Horn&Tube" room and set up.
