300 hearing impressions
Posted by: M. Brandstetter on 04 December 2002
Dear all,
on saturday 23th nov, sg-akustik invited
to a new gear listening event.
First, thanks to stefan and ruediger
for the nice day and the work they have
done.
SG-Akustik in Karsruhe has bettered the room,
significantly. The new listening room is
a bit smaller and was used before as stockholding
kabinet. Now it is loaded with new fraim and
a few naim pieces around ;-).
At present they have warmed up, 552,282,202,new scap,new hicap,cdx2,xps2,stageline,200,250,300,500.
In the morning they presented the "little"-new gear. Here i had no chance to hear, cause from
frankfurt to karlsruhe a few minutes are to drive.
This day i joined in, when stefan presented
cdx2/552/300/allae, and a notingham tt with new
stageline.
Amazing!!!
The new room alone is a big improvement! Compliments for the courage to change from
the main listening room.
The music floating out of this amazing speakers
was wonderfull. I had never heard an allae that
good. From Ulrich i know the benefits a 552 brings
to the equation, but i was not prepared to hear
such a good CD-Player. The new cdx2 is a quantum leap in reproduction. Stefan demoed it without
the xps2, cause this was deliverd the day and
cold like stone. The cdx2 was playing around a week, like the rest.
The tt was ok, but i still have problems with the
stageline, and miss inbuild phonoboards in the
new line :-(((. (Dear Naim, not all people can mount prefixes in the TT...)
Nevertheless the CDX2 was up for the job. There
was no wish open.
Thanks Stefan, Ruediger and the rest of the team
for making this day happen.
****
The next monday i popped again into the holy halls. (Thanks for the invitation from ulrich to stay a few days.)
Here i compared new 250 against 300, and it's
a big difference!!!
The new 250 seems to play on 135 level.
( So far i heard sbl's, nbl's with 135. but i think here there is typical "sound" in presentation.) The 300 is more like 500.
I would like to compare aktiv against 300, whether
the 300 betters aktiv like the 500...
gosh, the new stuff is good!!
have fun listening
Regards
