Clarity, precision, soundstage, neutrality

CD: Copland CDA-266
Speakers: P.E. Léon Enzo
Interconnect: QED Silver Spiral Interconnect

Compared to the equivalent Naim and Arcam equivalents, I found that the two Copland components worked to give superior clarity and depth to the music without obvious strain. The very neutrality of the setup emphasises the control it has in complex passages but it is a bit fussy about interconnect and selective with speakers (I switched to the Léons after becoming dissatisfied with a pair of Mission 753 Freedoms - the difference is immense). It seems happy with all styles of music and will soundtsage with stunning accuracy. Five stars.
