MBL 1531 to 1621a What to expect?

Hello all,

I am looking at the possibilities of a transport change from my trusty MBL 1531, and candidates vary but I'm keen to hear any views from those that have have any first hand experience going from the MBL 15xx series, to the 1621a. I know Teajay has made a similar move, perhaps others too, so any thought's would be very gratefully received..

Many thanks.

Great stuff, Teajay. By the way, if your Sablon digital cable is from Sablon Audio, I know Mark Coles quite well, and have a lot of respect for him. A seriously passionate audiophile who is a very creative designer...I have a few of his power cables and one of his Panatella ICs. Great stuff and seriously high end imho for a lot less money.

Big news for Sablon to surpass Stealth Sextet!

Thank you chaps, most helpful, I will most likely go ahead and try one in my system, the combination of the new DAC and this should be rather nice indeed..!

Update; The 1621a will hopefully arrive around the first week of July, which will time well with re-installation of the complete system after flooring work is complete. Also, this will coincide with the installation of the new rack, which is the first full-on isolation / damping rack we have built. I hope to use the 1531 for a week or two with the new 'Ariya-Sacca' support to asses what this does for a complete system, then bring in the 1621a for comparison to 1531.

Will keep you updated!

KR,
Paul.
