If Steve Got You Last Week...

@grannyring

been through so many transports I cannot name them all the two best transports I have had and heard in my system are Audiomeca Mehpisto II this is the best I ever heard not including the mega priced ones that are out there, next Metronome (Do know my model number but has separate matching power supply). Both are excellent mid to high level players before you get into the mega buck stuff. Heard the Sim Audio and while it was a very good one, it was not up to the ones I mentioned above.

The big issue is the ones I own are not longer made. BTW, Pat’s CEC is also an excellent transport TL3N I think and his is not longer in production. Recently had the Electrocompanient 1-up version 4 which was also very nice sounding.

Happy Listening

Thanks Pete! 

My Cyrus transport definitely sounds better in comparison to identical tracks on Qobuz.  Of course there could be other factors, but right now now that is the case.

What is your digital source?

I only stream a distant radio station & the quality is not that good.

I use a CAL Alpha 24/96 tube dac with a CAL Delta transport. Crazy good sound out of them with the right discs & tubes.

Analog is a VPI TT & the MD-102 tuner.

So many albums were intended to be listened to from front to back, as a complete story.
