Hi to all.
The story is this, A local dealer (Madrid-Spain) has offered me a Raysonic SP- 200 and + Raysonic CD168, both brand new for $ 3.000. Tough I have found lots of nice info recomending de CD168 I have been unable to do so through the forum on the Rysonic SP-200 and I thought to open this threat to get your ideas/suggestions/opinions on the issue 🙄
The specs are:
Raysonic's SP-200
Features:
The major feature of the super-wide bandwidth ourput transformer is that it delivers the current in the bass, while still maintaining the speed in the high frequencies, dramatically improving thequare wave response of the amplifier. The effect is a much more natural and relaxed sound with greater clarity, resolution and fluidity.
Raysonic CD168
My current speakers are a couple DIY blackloaded horn speakers using the Fostex FE208 Sigma fullrange drivers (enclosures are the ones Fostex recomended in its website). I am using a Pioneer PL 570 as turntable (the ancient model made on the 70's) and a Pioneer TX 9800 as a turner. The SP-200 will replace a Pioneer SA 9900 and I currently do not have any dedicated CD Player as I listen my CD's though a budget home theater blu-ray.
I just love music, all sorts of music, from classical to new trends, no matter what¡¡¡ My listening space y pretty square and about 480 sq feet in size.
As an alternative I was thinking on graving the CD168 and to build a DIY amp KIT (maybe the Master KT88 Scott sales through the Vendor's Bazaar in this forum).
Again, any idea/suggestions/opinions will be fully appreciated
Thanks in advance 🙂
