Heed Audio's Questars are destined to be the best entry-level options for vinyl reply that money can buy. The QUESTAR MM largely incorporates the Quasar’s unsurpassed MM circuitry, while its sibling, the Questar MC deploys a streamlined version of the Quasar’s MC stage, eliminating the need for jumper switches by optimising the amplifier to suit the 300-600 µV/100 Ohm output range characterising the vast majority of today’s moving coils. Under the hood of their hefty, shielded steel chassis beats the heart of our Quasar MM/MC phonostage, conveniently divided into neatly-specialized a’ la carte portions. Considering its generous 18 dB headroom, ideal cartridge matching is virtually assured.
