But perhaps the most quietly impressive quality that this system demonstrates is its sheer musical willingness. Just as the components are devoid of technological prejudice, when it comes to playing records, literally anything goes. Whether it’s a violin sonata or arcane Americana, symphonic bombast or a bangin’ dance track, this rig from Definitive Audio delivers. The best systems – irrespective of price – transcend audio niceties and render sonics irrelevant. This is just such a system. Anybody who still believes in the law of diminishing musical returns should invest their time in hearing it. The experience might just generate a handsome (and long overdue?) return on monies already invested…
