I hope it brings the attack you crave. For me this would be essential
Well lets hope so. This new version which I'm getting varies from the one Simon let me borrow and he already seems to think that he might have to update his (the one I reviewed). Additionally I will be reviewing the new 4 box version with the P10 connected :eyebrows: so i'm hoping for further gains from the P10 and the new tweaks Simon has built in.
4 box version now arrived :eek: I've been told to get 200hours into the system before it beds down. I've managed about 2 today!! First impressions are very very good. There is NO surface noise of well looked after vinyl. This new 4 box version has been optimised for my carts (Denon 103/Ortofon Cadenza black) the other 3 box version I trialled wasn't so didn't perform optimally. I also have a beefier power supply, thicker cabling, and no IEC's to worry about. It's probably going to be several weeks before I update this thread again. So, I guess I better just listen to some vinyl and get the thing bedded in, life is hard!
I never did write up or compare the 4 box version of the paradise to my Sugen + SUT setup. I'm hoping to get some more upgrades installed into my paradise over the next few weeks/months thanks to Simon of this Forum. I wonder how my new 4 box version compares to my current setup and how the upgraded paradise compares to my current phonostage. I'm hoping the paradise will outperform the sugden + sut setup and give me a new reference phonostage ;)
We'll Simon has purloined my paradise for a while and will be upgrading the beast, we have some Calvin buffers, new op-amps, some new transformers going in and hopefully better cartridge matching. I've been promising a review of the four box version and it will be forthcoming when the newer paradise returns. Let's hope it can trash the sugden!!!!
If it doesn't the Sugden must be something really special since the Paradise we heard at NEBO (with a mere 2 boxes) was truly awesome.
Don't forget Martin I put the paradise up against the sugden+sut I think that's why it edged it.
Did you hear Alan's paradise?
Yes we did.
