I would not call the Lector dark, however it certainly is not bright. It all boils down to system matching. If ones speakers and amp, pre is overly warm, I would not recommend the lector. Than I would try the ayre or something like it. I use Atma-Sphere amps and pre. The A-S electronics are not at all overly warm, in fact it is quit neutral. I also use Coincident Super Eclipse speakers. Again IMHO they are also neutral. The musical warmth, quality bass, the large sound and holographic imaging the Lector delivers with my setup is very pleasing to me. I see that SK, you are a dealer. I am sure I have not auditioned everything you have but I have had my share of cd players. The lector has no "NONE" of the digital glare that I have experienced with many other players in my home.
I have tried a few different tubes with the lector. I have discovered that the Lector responds well with different tubes. That also gives one an opportunity to taylor the sound to their liking. I have setteled for now on the Seimens 1960's 12at7. Again, IMHO I feel it is a neutral sounding tube. What I have found to be a warmer tube is the RCA command 12at7. I also listen to vinyl using the Nottingham Ace Space Deck with the new Shelter 5000 cartridge. I can not honestly say I prefer the Nott over the Lector as they are to close to call. They are different but one is not better than the other IMO. It is truley hard to give advise as everyones taste of sound seems to be different from each others. Everyones mileage does vary!!!
