Art G2 + PSU (optional)
Lytteintrykk (babelfish fra tysk til engelsk..)
"#Dear Claus,
again thank you that you left us during your vacation AUDIONET the CD Player ART G2 and the separate power pack EPS to the "Ersttest".
How it admits to you is I had to convince mine man only for a long time that we sound ourselves the "small" AUDIONET Player testweise announced with much Vorschusslorbeeren.
It hangs stop nevertheless much on its Krell KPS 20i, the admitted masses also after 10 years and updates sounds really still very good - also in relation to newer devices (20,000.00 DM cost also at that time!). Our plant with the excellent ME Geithain 901K (active), the tube preliminary stage VAC (valve amplification company) CLA-1 LINE Amp Mk III, wiring: 5 x mains cable WSS (WySoSys GmbH) platinum LINE N3, NF WSS platinum LINE with calibration man Silver Bullets, symmetrical WSS platinum LINE XLR and some smaller "added" how "spaceround" etc.. And you know unsren not completely uncritical hearing area (6 m x 10.5 m x 2.50 m) with the long window front and the somewhat small height.
First in sequence:
After unpacking more than 20kg heavy ART G2 impressed us the finish and the soundness very much (similarly as the "Krell Schlachtschiff"). Everything makes a very good and cleanly processed impression, does not work nevertheless not klotzig and integrates themselves in the best way in the existing equipment. Although the manufacturer recommends at least 100 hours bringing in time, immediately a clear difference was perceptible after the first clocks of well-known CDs. Above all a better detail design without sharpness (!) and in addition an almost undreamt-of bass foundation - to lay on without thereby too thickly. The spreading and tiefenstaffelung is outstanding simply and straight with photographs with large orchestras the individual instruments and groups marvelously plastic are lifted out and illustrated, without the general impression and unanimity are concerned. Which however particularly convinces, is the ease and almost spielerische way like the ART G2 of everything illustrates - directly whether quiet or dynamic passages of an admission. To the ART G2 sounds quite similar to and according to opinion of my man, whom the "large one" VIP G2 did not address so extremely, plays the ART in our chain for it still clearly more approximately and "more feinnerviger". That is well like that, since we did not discover so far DVD and SACD as medium for us yet.
The coronation/culmination is reached however if the separate power pack EPS is switched in addition. Naturally 1,790.00 is worth a bar money, but each euro € for it, if the result appears so clearly and clearly.
Over night we accelerated then a bringing in over the permanent run with the "systems Enhancer CD of AUDIO purcIst DESIGN" something, which affected itself likewise again audibly.
On our personal scale of 0 - we set the ART G2 for 100 (whereby 100 represents an academic value) - without EPS - at approximately 90 points on. With the EPS we rate everything on 98 points. If one considers that one must always calculate for realizing the last 10% with a multiples of the first 90%, a Tuning is even still very inexpensive over the EPS! The spatial conditions fall still less in the weight. That means, the ME 901K and the tube preamplifier harmonieren in the best way with that ART G2. Also over our STAX headphones are confirmed o.a. Impressions of the sound impressing.
Although we concerned not yet completely at the end all our impressions of the sound, it appears that probably my man lets himself be softened to go again this step.
The decision I want to facilitate for it by the fact somewhat that I take over this investment, because he carried the predominant part out so far.
Therefore I would like to make use gladly from your offer - if it is still current - that I make a deposit to the sum total of 5.780,00 in place of the cash discount 1,000.00 € € and free of interest finance the remainder of 4.780,00 € over 24 months. Those are then only scarce. 200,00 € per month, which I can pay easily from my current budget.
If we return the test devices, I would like to then make gladly nails with heads.
Many cordial greetings and again thanks for your confidence.
