Was in my fav local audio store today, and walked into a listening room to have a peak at a Clearaudio TT. However, as soon as I walked into the room, the music that I heard stopped my straight in my tracks. Accoustic guitar being played, but sounding like guitar, not a recording of a guitar. Had to sit and have a listen. Wife came in the room and was blown away by the sound. She with the perfect pitch could not believe how natural sounding they were.
Threw on a record and had a listen. Amazing. Just so natural, with incredible dynamics and speed. Totally effortless performance. Unlike a lot of horns I have heard, no hardness to the highs.
Ran out of time today, and a 10 minute demo in an unfamiliar room with unfamiliar equipment and music is certainly not the way to make any final decisions. However, I was certainly impressed enough and intrigued enough that I arranged for a decent demo in the new year with some SET power driving them.
