Isn't the reason the different approach to correcting the misalignment of any side-mounted tonearm? As a consequence, straight and s-shaped tonearms have the misalignment at a different point. Sorry, I've never had a record player....

I was looking for a lounge chair 2 years ago. Back then, I opted for the COR Cordia Lounge. High quality, well thought out, high enough in the back that you can fall asleep sometimes. I would definitely buy it again and can highly recommend it. But it costs considerably more than 1000 euros...

Thanks for your report. I had almost expected it.... These "all in one" FM/DAB+ tuners (+CD player) are probably internally computers . As these radios+ will probably not generate much revenue, the manufacturers have not put significant development into the parts. Not to mention the maintenance.

I just found the "Advance Paris X Stream 9". Should be similar in technical design to the TEAC.

I'm looking forward to your report. You can read about the “TEAC PD-301DAB-X” that it behaves quite slowly. More like an old overwhelmed PC than a tuner.

TEAC PD-301DAB-X Pro-Ject Tuner Box S3 DAB+ Both have digital out. That might be interesting, if you just have a DAC into activ LSP, as I do.

This is the crucial point: Beryllium keeps the plug in contact with a larger surface area in the socket for a long time. What more could you want?

Yup, thank you. That is in line with my thoughts and assumptions.

Thanks for the update / picures nostromo Has anything been said about the optional tube output stage from John @ FB in the last 12 months? I hope this is not forgotten in the course of years of development....

Perhaps this is interesting for you. The text is in German...

any news @FB?

Thanks I will have a look at it.

In an affordable framework, this combination seems to be offered only by the Chinese. The SMSL SP400 would visually match my DAC from the same company. But following the reviews, the sound signature seems to be more on the "harsh side". The Topping A90 discrete seems to have a reliable problem.

2500 EUR is nevertheless very clearly beyond my limit. But thanks for the tip. Only SE HP-output. But thanks for the tip.

No one has anything meaningful to say about the A90D or SP400? Or a comparison or even alternatives?
