Summary:
Story:
After having a Transrotor porcino turntable for a couple of years with Benz en Denon cartridges, i bought the Performance in 2007 after hearing it in a quality shop. I was astonished about the pure en powerfull presentation and good looks of course. I bought it as a special package consists of the Maestro mm cartridge, Direct wiring Carbon Satisfy arm, magnetic bearing en magnetic decoupled feet.
The soundquality with good recordings is excellent. Very transparant, powerful, dynamic and joyfull. No warm sound here. Speedstability is also very accurate. It doesnt spin too fast or to slow, just right!
The motor/belt is also very quiet and the arm very stiff. With the magnetic bearing there is almost no friction and rumble. So the turntable itself has no character of its own. But as always it needs a very stable support to perform at best. If you do that and you have a decent phono-pre, you can hear exactly what's in the grooves and nothing else.

Strengths:
Soundquality
Construction
Arm
Price
Looks

Faults:
No lid, thats it

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
