Does it have the weight and body of the Exact?
absolutely, and then some.
i got lucky with my purchase , being ex-demo i got a good discount. had it not been for this i probably would not of stretched to an Ania-Pro.
now that i have it, at least i know a refurb at Rega is very reasonable. (currently £345, compared to Exact refurb of £225).
on the downside, my new purchase has created 2 more itches for me to scratch.
1 being an upgrade on my Mofi Studiophono stage and 2 being an upgrade of my Pro-ject DS2 dac.
i doubt a Fono MC will be an improvement on my Mofi, so looking at Ania level (used).
as far as a dac goes , something like Chord Qutest or RME ADI-2.
none of this is urgent though, thankfully, as my digital setup does not get a look in at the moment due to the arrival of the P8.
and the P8/AP sounds fantastic even with the Mofi stage.
