for the radius 5

Had this deck for approx. 2 months and loving every minute! I replaced my Roksan TMS-1 with this and I have to say I find the Radius5 more musical, more dynamic, more informative, and just more enjoyable. Definitely an element of superior value for money here but whatever I have no regrets! Purchased with Goldring 1042 m/m, the Radius is an absolute delight.

Product Weakness: none I have found.
Product Strengths: rhythmic, detailed, dynamic, very musical.
