i am ready to pull the trigger on an Audio Aero Prima 24/192 CDP, it is supposed to have a very nice Analog type of sound. does anyone here @ club Polk own one or have they listened to one for a extended period of time?thanks....WCW III

    I don't own one, but I'm always interested in how these tubes CDP sounds. Does this player play SACDs? How about a link to more info? Thanks!

    :) I read the soundstage review and comments other folks have made on several audio boards.it uses the little subminiature tubes and it plays redbook CDs and has no SACD capability.it is supposed to sound very musical but still have good detail and it seems like something i would want to use as a source in my two channel rig. thanks....WCW III

    Well, the MF gear uses the minature tube, actually military tubes very resistant to heat, vibration and so on. I enjoy them, just about, well, everyday to tell the truth.

    Somebody has to be first William, the lack of the SACD would be a downer for me, but if that does not matter............

    :) Hey Big Daddy,I already own a Sony SACD player but i wanted an upsampling redbook player with tubes and Audio Aero has a very good reputation and i would like to take the path less traveled. i have a huge collection of CD's and many of my favorites are not available on SACD's and i think the Prima 24/192 might fit the bill nicely. thanks....WCW III
