Price Paid:
$0.00 Summary:
Very nice looking unit. This unit can be hooked directly to an amplifier w/o a preamp. But the dealer told me it would sound best if it is played wide open and through a preamp. So I run it into my Bel Canto pre3. It has a solid state output and a tube output.This allowed me to hook up 2 tube moneblocks and a ss amp and various speaker combinations. I could then run the tube output or the ss output with a tube power amp or ss. Very nice for getting the right combination. The sound is very nice. There is a difference between the ss and tube sound from this unit. The tube sound is softer and the ss mor precise. I upgraded the tubes. It plays SACD, cd and cdr. Loading a disc is easy . It is a manual load with a magnetic weight to stablize the disc. Very nice and I prefer it to the mechanical loading tray on most untis. But there is a little noise do to being on top of the chassis instead of inside it. Although I am the only one that has noticed it. Unit has a headphone jack and remote. The remote is weak. It works but most buttons are not used. The remote could be much smaller. I play a wide variety of music. This unit plays it all very nice. I have compared it to an NAD, a technics and mitsubishi cd players. The sound was not even close. The Shanling was much higher priced and the sound quality was far superior. I very much like this unit.
