Hi.
Didn't see any mention of this player here yet. I just got it last night and it is beautiful! It replaces an Adcom GCD 750 which is not a bad player in its own right. This one blows it away in every area of comparison! The Consonance has a tubed output stage based on the Sovtek 6H30. It also features balanced outputs, but I believe these bypass the tubed stage - please someone correct me if I am wrong about that! I have it hooked up to a Krell KAV 300i and a pair of Joseph Audio RM25si MkII's. The Krell can be very revealing and a tad bit harsh. Since it has both balanced and single ended inputs I have hooked both of the player's outputs up and can switch between balanced and single ended using the Krell remote. I have left the player on repeat for about 12 hours now. I realize that it is no where near broken in. However, I thought those of you considering this player may want someone's report... My initial impression right out of the box was that the balanced outputs sounded better. The soundstage was more expansive and everything was just a tad bit clearer. However, after an overnight of burning in the single ended is catching up. I notice that it is a bit softer in character, but this is not a bad thing - especially mated to the Krell. The soundstage is a wee bit narrower, but somehow more focused. Female vocals are wonderful. Since I have a totally uncontrolled experiment I have no way of knowing how much of the difference I hear is due to the Consonance or the Krell. Also, the balanced cables are a very nice set of straightwires and the single ended cable is a mid grade Prisma (upgrade on the way). All in all either balanced or single ended is far superior to the Adcom, but I think the single ended is winning me over. As other review snippets have indicated, you simply just want to keep listening to this player! It is very smooth and detailed and throws a wonderful soundstage on my system. To my ears it is very evenly balanced from top to bottom end and the midrange is just wonderful. There is ample bass, but only if it is on the recording. Bass is not boomy, very tight and natural. I hate to use cliches, but it is truly very analog sounding. Instruments sound like instruments should - and the vocals....welllll trust me you will like them. I haven't opened the hood yet, but the thing is built like a tank and the transport is very nice and smooth. The controls are a bit odd, but you get used to them quickly and the little remote works well and is quite neat. The one thing missing is the ability to program a set of tracks, but I am nitpicking here. I am in the midst of upgrading my system and I have a JoLida Jd-1000 tubed integrated on the way. It is modified by the Parts Connection and I can't wait to hear it. The Krell was fun for 4 years, but I suspect the fully tubed amp will be a delight, especially with the Consonance player. I will post another review of the player when it is fully broken in. However, if you are considering one of these players and you can't find one to listen to locally and you are wondering whether to "risk it", my advice is to go for it. They can be had for $1600-$1800 on Audiogon. I would be very sure that you won't find anything better in that price range unless it is used and you get one of those steal deals. Again, I know that this thing isn't even remotely broken in yet, but it blows me away! More in a couple of weeks. Happy listening.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Weakness:  None I have heard so far.., ability to program tracks is lacking, but I rarely used it anyway.
Product Strengths:  Soundstage, image, and a wonderful, lush midrange. Build quality appears to be superb.

嗨。
这里还没看见这个播放器的任何提及。 昨晚我就得到它并且它是美丽的! 它代替不是一个坏的表演者在的一Adcom GCD 750它的自己的正确。 在比较的每个区域这个离开吹它! 基于Sovtek 6H30调和有一个tubed产量阶段。 它也特写平衡的产量, 但是我相信这些迂回tubed阶段- 请某人如果我是冤屈关于,那么改正我那! 我把它被连上了一Krell KAV 300i和一双约瑟夫音频的RM25si Mkii的。 Krell能很正在揭示并且苛刻的一个小孩子小点。 自从它有被平衡了并且单身者结束了输入我已经钩表演者的产量的两个起来并且能切换在之间平衡并且单身者结束了使用遥远的Krell。 有大约12个小时的时间现在我已经离开播放器在重复。 我认识到它是不在哪儿近碎在。 然而, 我认为了考虑这个播放器可以想要某人的报告的你的那些... 我的从盒子的初始的印象权利是平衡的产量更好发出声音了。 soundstage是更豪爽的并且任何事物只是更清楚的一个小孩子小点。 然而, 在以后一一夜在单人赛烧的结束了正在赶上来。 我注意它是一点的更柔软在特征, 但是这不是一件坏事情- 特别配对了到Krell。 soundstage是更狭窄的一个微小的小点, 但是更某种程度集中了。 女性的声乐是奇妙的。 自从我举办一个完全无拘束的试验我没有知道由于调和或Krell多少有我听见那的差别的方法。 另外, 平衡的电缆线是straightwires的很好的集合并且单人赛结束了电缆线是中间的等级Prisma(升级在途中)。 非常重要平衡了或比Adcom结束的单人赛远优异, 但是我认为单人赛结束了正在赢得我上。 当另外的回顾片断已经显示, 你就简单地想要不停地听这个播放器! 它是很光滑的并且详细并且在我的系统上扔一奇妙的soundstage。 到我的耳朵它是从顶很匀称地平衡了到底部目的并且midrange只是奇妙的。 有宽松的鲈鱼, 但是仅当它在记录上。 鲈鱼不是boomy, 很紧密并且自然。 我恨使用电铸版, 但是它是很模拟真正发出声音。 仪器听起来仪器应该- 并且声乐....welllll信任我你将喜欢他们。 还我没打开兜帽, 但是象一辆坦克一样事情被建造并且运输是很好并且光滑的。 控制是一点的奇数, 但是你快速习惯于他们并且小遥远的工作很好并且相当整洁是。 失去的一件事情是能力程序一套磁道, 但是我在这里是挑剔的。 我在升级我的系统并且我在途中有完整的一JoLida Jd-1000 tubed的中央。 它被部分连接更改并且我不能等待听见它。 有4年的时间Krell是好玩的, 但是我怀疑充分tubed安培将是高兴, 特别与调和表演者一起。 当它是时我将张贴播放器的另外的考察充分碎在。 然而, 如果你正在考虑这些播放器的之一并且你不能发现一个本地地听并且你正在想知道是否到“冒险它”, 我的建议是去它。 为$1600-$1800在Audiogon上他们能被有。 我将很肯定你不会更好发现任何东西在那个价格范围除非它被使用并且你得到的之一那些偷窃处理。 再, 我知道这件事情不是在还甚至偏僻地碎, 但是离开吹我! 更多的在一些星期内。 高兴听。

Seems better to get bargain on Audiogon.com for Consonance Reference CD 2.2 tube cd player.
I've compared to Accuphase DP-55V (mine for sell now) , MF A3.2 & A.3 , Rotel RCD-991AE , Sonic Frontiers SFCD-1 with early made Siemens CCa, Shanling T-100 with WE tubes, Micromega Minium (with LC Clock modified) as cdt+ Perpetual Tech P1A+P3A+Modwright PSU DAC combo & AH! Njoe Tjoeb with upsampler. This China made cdp blows away those cdp.

Also compare with Electrocompaniet EMC-1 UP 24/192 : Consonance wins on vocal/mid but lose on low/dynamic region and hi sounding. Resolution : soundstage & depth on par.
But EMC-1 cost US$5,500 (2x more expensive than Consonance) .
Consonance is one of the best buy cdp you may consider too.
2.2胜了一大堆。又比了音乐之旅EMC1,人声中频胜,低频动态和高频解析输,音场、深度平手。

是什么网站的?能贴一下吗?
自己找到了:http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.pl?forum=digital&n=64116&highlight=Consonance&r=&session=

总之是好话一车,他说用2.2替代了Adcom,接Krell300i,平衡、胆输出都试了。开始平衡好,煲一晚后胆输出他更喜欢,声音软、音场略窄、女声好听(与我的听感一致),适合300i 。等换成jolida10000,2.2也煲透了。他还要再发评论。还有许多好话,略。
老美有头脑发热的毛病。不可不信,亦不能全信。
