the amplifiers are transistor, preamp is tube nice combo;
also I don't buy the argument that his TT front end
belongs to that boring category, because I already mentioned that at times his table has more depth than the tuner, body is good and dynamics ok but not as good as the tuner; but in areas that are most important to recreate live sound the tuner dose a better job; IMO
If TT sound so bad, he would sell it and buy something else
but each move in the vinyl system has been an upgrade and he is not
interested in selling any pieces at this time.
vinyl is close to being max out.
the comment about this discussion being moot?
well that is always the case here on this discussion form
only because you can't all come and hear this comparison.
but, it is not moot if it just opens someones mind, and changes their preconceived notion based on audio BS. something
is learned, my intention and point is this, vinyl is no longer king of the hill(IMO) and diminishing returns should be considered.
I may downscale the vinyl medium, and with the cash get a 109 !
tuner is way more dynamic,
way more intimate (and that's shocking), and more flesh and body sounding, than a table could ever dream of.
those three elements are strong components to simulate live music IMHO. !!!
I am convinced that if a record or cd is playing from your CD player or TT, the radio stations same song will always sound better thru this 109 tuner.
I wish I knew why and how, but that is a fact and I am sticking with it !
until proven other wise, and if I hear something different
I will come back and report it and eat some crow.
peace brothers.
