BLUE NOTE STIBBERT TUBED IMPROVED


I am looking for a cd player primarily for Redbook and am in the $6000.00 approximate price range. A friend of mine recommends the BLue Note Stibbert Improved Tubed CD Player. Has anybody heard this player and any thought on your opinions including other similarly priced units that
either meet or surpass its sound qualities?

Hi there,
I think mine broke in this weekend. Two words GIANT KILLER!
I can't remember digital ever sounding this good anywhere. It has an uncanny ability to bring you into the performance unlike anything other than the best and I mean best analog. Put some weight on the top to stabilize the player especially if you're using heavy pc or ic's as they have a tendency to pull down on the springs. I think this could be the player to beat in the sub 10k range. Good luck.
It truly is a wonderfull player and if you want to take it to another level try the Sound Fusion isolation kit.
I ordered it and figured it would probably help on bass but three of us audionuts could not believe how it improved everything else.Also get rid of the stock tubes and try some seimens or amperex.
Regards,Bob
The Bluenote Stibbert sounds very good. I had in my system for a couple of months while my Esoteric player was modified. The Bluenote could well be the player of choice depending on system synergy. Very smooth and togther sounding.
I have a question here: is there a specific type of music the Bluenote excels on?
For example, would it play Duke Ellington's rhythmic music as well as blues, or is it mostly a classical player?
Gbmcleod,
I listen to Jazz,Jazz fusion,Patricia barber,Diana Krall,medium rock etc and find it works on all these types of music.Regards,Bob
