Alan visited today and brought his Tron for a listen. Once we'd let the cartridge (Zyx R50 Bloom) warm up Alan put on Flag by Yello, not an LP I've familiar with but it sounded rather excellent. Then onto an XX album which I am familiar with. I adopted my critic's face, concentrating on width, depth, bass, treble and all the other audiofool stuff but that didn't last even a single track, I just got sucked into the music, enthralling. Clearly this is a quite excellent phono stage. I don't know how the standard Tron would compare but the fired up one is certainly a very fine amplifier.
Thanks Alan.
