Review: Audio Aero Prima cd CD Player
Category: Digital
I have auditioned many CD players, but none have fit the
price VS. value like the Prima 24/192.Mine is not in current production but there are professional reviews in
the Inner Ear and Soundstage.Not the Capitole but at 25%
of the price there are somethings which you just have to
wait til later .
Alive sounding and with natural sound and pace. Realism
that still amazes me and is the main reason I fell for it.
The Maggies are a very revealing spkr and the better the
components you feed them the better they sound.
I listen to jazz,fusion,blues,folk,old rock but use only
a few favourites for auditions.Patricia Barber,'Companion',
Allison Krauss,'Forget About It',Mark Hollis's,without
Talk Talk , All the Pretty Horses soundtrack,'American
Beauty'score soundtrack.
Objectionable sounds--digitisis,fragmentation of musicians
and their instruments,noise, & crappy resolution.
Would I keep this player ? Yes ,at least until I can afford a used Capitole on A'gon.
Associated gear
Accuphase preamp C280L,Sim W-5,
Maggie 1.6 QR , Golden Cross and Hexlink interconnect and spkr wires,
Blue Circle power cords,PS Audio high
