for the cd3


my dealer said "just buy it" i said "i at least want to try wadia and the new 390s" he said trust me, so i did!
i read the wes phillips review on onhifi and liked what he said especially in relation to the krell (i have just come from the kps25s) and having done my checking i bought it.
now i dont even want to try anything else, i just listen to the music, i have some programme on cd and vinyl and did some real anorak comparisons and i promise you this sounds as good as my turntable.
just buy it!
a last telling point, the dealer lent me 1 metre xlr nordost valhalla to try (the swine!), but me i am sticking to the goertz sapphire which i found much more musical and communicative.
