Audio Aero Prima


I was looking on AA website and I noticed that the prima is different looing than all the ones I have seen in reviews (much nicer IMO). Is the player still the same in every other aspect? Does it still have a digital volume control and Balanced XLR? Thanks!

Kehut,

Yes that was the one that I was lucky enough to get. I previously owned a MKII Prima. I thought it had very good sound too. We'll see what the new changes bring to the ear. I still say that this is the one to beat! I will not disclose the purchase price on this thread. But if you email me off the board I'd be glad to share the information.
I owned a Prima for about a year. Although it's a good and competent player, it is not a great one. The transport unquestionably leaves a lot to be desired and it is not a particularly well built machine. Perhaps the new transport will change that. At the time it was a great bargain vis a vis the competiton. However, in the last couple years other players have surpassed it in both sonics and build quality.
Which players have surpassed it for sonics and build? If there is better price/performance player that's in its price range that betters the new Prima..I am interested in knowing before I make a purchase..Thanks
Kehut - I went from a Jolida JD100 to a Prima Mk2 and I am very happy with the improvement. Check out my "system" page for details and comparisons with other CD players.

Personally, I am happy to have a Prima with the Philips CD12 transport instead of the basic Sony one.
