FunkFirm - Houdini
$560
Combining the Houdini with the Achromat and the sound of your table will transform into something quite special. Your cartridge will be able to read all the music you have been missing. Even on a modest table the results are quite amazing. Mike @ Audio Two

Crystallised in Houdini, Funk is all about progress. Whatever they say, the industry Behemoths can’t stop progress. You only need listen.
The reward is more information, better fidelity, better sound. The differences are immediate and they’re not subtle. In Hi-Fi speak we can say: More Pace / Better Mid clarity / Blacker space / Greater Dynamics / Bass attack… Or, simply, it just sounds “Right”. You’ll find you’re pulling out record after record. How are we so confident? Because we’re still pulling our records out ourselves! “Bad” records, are no longer “bad”, just produced differently. This makes more sense, after all producers were happy with the sound they created. Why and how did it go wrong? It can only be at the replay end. Cross-referencing on Linns, Projects, Reed, Rega P1- P10, Schroeder, SL1200s, SME 30, Thorens, VPI, etc., the results were consistent. These benefits couldn’t be recreated any other way. The improvement is at a fundamental level. £300. Houdini delivers on all arms, not just high-end. Hear what it does to P1 or Debut, it’s revelatory.
