ROBYATT AUDIO

CAPITOL AUDIO FEST
Written By K. E. Heartsong

As I stepped into the room and even before I sat down, it was easy to understand that this was a very transparent system with quite good detail, that was also dynamically astute.

However, when Robin played my test stream “The Secret Love Affair” (The Last Southern Gentleman, Troubadour Jazz) was when things began to get, well, even clearer.

The center-fill provided by the Quads was exceptional and separation was also quite good. And as always with electrostatics, even with solid state in the mix, there was air, ambiance, and very good inner detail.

  • VPI HW-RA Direct Drive Turntable ($17,995)
