A friend of mine, who owns the old stack (Verdi LaScala, Verona Clock, Elgar Plus) has auditioned Puccini in his system (Nagra PL-P + VPA; Avis Acutus/SME V/ZYX) for the period of 2 weeks.
He came to the conclusion that his old stack betters Puccini (sans U-clock) in the following areas:
- resolution,
- HF air,
- bass definition,
- dynamics,
- soundstaging.
Acording to his words, dCS Puccini was better at portrayig midrange, had more texture and was more fluid sounding.
Overall he prefered his old stack, but it all depends on personal preferences.
I should have the Puccini with the U-Clock on loan in the next two weeks.
