My criticisms about the Planar 3 / P3 are made mostly from comparisons with vinyl systems costing much more.As far as the imagine/soundstaging issue goes it's not a high priority with me. I never have considered evaluating those things a high priority so, like I said in the review, it could be that it's my other gear that leads me to that conclusion. I don't know and I'll take your word for for the P3's performance in that area. Though it's clear to me it's not up to the standard set by my previous Sota Sapphire or my Roksan Xerxes DX2.
Yesterday I was listening to my recently acquired Raysonic CD128 ($1800 retail) - totally amazed and blown away with how well it worked in my newly updated second system. After a couple a CDs I put on an LP on the P3/103/pp2 combo and my first thought was the CDP sounded much better than the P3. Well heck I thought the CDP does cost twice as much as the whole vinyl rig! After my second LP I concluded the P3 was was as musically involving and good sounding as the CDP. This is how my analog v. digital conclusions have been going now for some years - which ever one I listen to last is usually the best - and switching media does require a short period of transition. That being said I can get more from my P3 - planning on a new phono section and a new cartridge within the next couple of months.
Thanks for your response!
Give me rhythm or give me death!
