AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet

Whoa !! You can't begin to compare the Prima 24/192 with
the Capitole 24/192.There are many similarities,but
the price spread is huge.My Prima 24/192 is a great
improvement from any other player I have owned or auditioned.What used to sound 'live' now sounds 'true to
life',and there is a difference.The New Prima 24/192
price went up about $400.00.The New Captiole went through
the roof. Power cable matching is a whole other problem
I have found though.Using a 'Blue Circle'now,seems okay
but I would like to try something else.An Essence ESP?
may be who's to know ?

Peter its true that the thread developed into a review of the bigger brothers, but this was a great opportunity for most of us who do not have an opportunity to audition these superior digital players, and Bwhite's review brought us a good understanding, so could you pick up where he left off and tell us more about this new upgrade PRIMA, i was headed toward the METRONOME V1, but may reconsider my choice

I dicovered a definite upgrade with the Mephisto II transport and Enkianthus dac by using the audio tekne cd transformer. This improved the soundstage and the imaging was even more focused. Definitely more analog sounding. I'm still trying to find out what is inside this little box but there is no translation from Japanese. The transformer is used between the dac and the preamp and can be used with an cd player.

Snook? Are you saying that you are using the $18,000 (hifi farm sells for 11,250) CD Transformer?? Or did you put the lower end version in your system?

Bwhite, I am using the lower version. Are you familiar with the transformers.
