Is the performance any good?

Is the performance any good?

D/K still in preorder.
I thought that it might be of interest to a few on the board

Polish Symphony(putting jokes on hold) gets a lot
of accolades in Europe, so I would think so.
I wonder how they mic'd it.

CSBs

Nah, they have a bigger budget, prolly used 4022s in a Kangol.

Couldn't be CSBs if it truly is a transistor-free recording.  It had to be tubed mics

The real question is what was the A>D process?

[BobW]

A/D was very likely tube/transformers like the Manley.

What I'd like to see is the gaseous-tube laser that burned the DVD-A !   

[dnsacks]

I believe the manley's only a mic pre -- I'd suspect that a tube-based a>d without any transistors/integrated circuits would fill a VERY large room (or so . . . .)

Actually, I think that I have a tube D/A circuit that is pretty small, but you're right, an A/D would be a monster.
I can't wait to read the liner notes.


BTW, I scoured Manley's site and they did make a A/D, but it seems to be dual-mono, solid state:


And a mere 8000 clams
