METRONOME T2-i SIGNATURE

REVIEW - DATA SHEET

METRONOME T2-i SIGNATURE DETAILS

"The Metronome T2i Signature CD Player is a stellar achievement ergonomically and musically with overall performance equal to today's most expensive solid-state digital gear. However, it surpasses them all in its absolutely neutral and realistic reproduction of musical definition, with a total lack of any describable colorations. I tried to ascertain the smallest flaws at any frequency range, but heard virtually none. Construction is truly superb as one would expect at this price. This important digital player will influence future digital gear for years to come." Robert H levi, Positive Feedback.com, issue 26 - Read More

Weiss Medea D/A Converter"Whoa! That was my first reaction to the Medea. Oh my was my second. I wonder if can afford to buy this thing? That was my third. I’ve never heard a digital processor resolve as much information as this one does. The Medea unveils loads of detail -- through the high, mid, and bass regions -- to the point where I was scrambling for disc after disc to determine if what I was hearing was some sort of illusion. It wasn’t. " - SoundStage

Zanden 2000P CD Transport Previously, if someone had offered to replace my record players and record collection wholesale with CDs and a player of my choice, I'd have questioned their sanity and then shown them the door. Now I'd have to consider that offer seriously. That's how big a step the Zanden digital electronics represent. - HiFi +

Zanden 5000S Digital to Analog Converter Have you ever heard a standard CD sound better than a top flite SACD player, if the answer is yes they I guess you have already heard the Zanden. Am I exaggerating, not in the slightest, it is more musical, more harmonically rich and musically correct, it does not fall foul of the SACD convertor sound (yes it has one) and there are millions more albums available and they are cheaper. For a moment I thought I was listening to Vinyl, yes its that good!

Weiss Jason CD Transport Any great digital front end must start with a great transport. The JASON CD Transport is an addition to the already famous MEDEA D/A Converter. The design and electronics are of the same high quality in both units. Many included features in the JASON which make it the CD Transport of choice not only in conjunction with the MEDEA but with all kinds of D/A Converters or Digital Amplifiers.
