Stereo test DS Audio DS-W1 – Dit review in het Duitse blad Stereo zette in februari 2016 de wereld van analoog op zijn kop! Zo goed klonk een plaat bij de redactie nog nooit!
Hier een klankbeschrijving:
“This Japanese analog phono system transformed our LPs, one after the other, into a real treat for our ears. Ella Fitzgerald, in ‘My Reverie’, was vividly outlined, standing in front of her band, in our listening room. She delivered her typical, lightly textured timbre and the sonorous energy in her voice. Even the record‘s pops were having a tough time keeping up. Night Rider has to be striking fear and terror in the hearts of competitors at the very high end.”
En de conclusie:
“Then there‘s the question—does the DS Audio DS-W1 kick all conven-tional high-end analog approaches to the sideline? We don’t areally know. Is it a serious competitor to the proven best cartridges/phono preamp combinations? Absolutely! And more than that. It is a bright light among the highlights in what is certainly not a poor vinyl scene.”
