For what it's worth I liked the Majestic so much I bought two. Each one for a different room!

A few days late, but we have now listened to Innuendo spun on the Cyrus CD8 SE through the Majestic and it sounded really good. None of the digital harshness we experienced through the top of the range Cyrus integrated DAC/amp. |

Nearly a week in to using the Majestic as preamp in addition to DAC. It's changed. Not enough "o"s in smooth to describe it (thanks for the line, Sherman Potter). Bass is tighter and a little deeper, but the extra texture (I use that word a lot in describing this thing) is a winner. I'm getting a very clear delineation between cello and bass sections in orchestral music, Flea's bass is way more articulate, all LP's make more sense, especially jazz ones, and sound stages are held solidly in space regardless of volume level. No wandering of images with pitch changes. My speakers are better than I thought they were. What a bonus.
Mick. PS - thanks for the concern over my beer getting warm. I've switched to single malt. Problem solved. |

Friday night was my turn for one of our regular 'music nights' with my 5 closest friends, all long time music fans
After an hour or two, whilst spinning a couple of tracks from one of his CDs, the one sat in the centre chair asked 'what has happened to your CD player, it sounds so real sitting here?' The CD transport looked exactly as it has for several years so he didn't realise that the little Majestic sitting on a separate shelf was the reason for the transformation since last time. They all seemed most impressed The sound signature from vinyl and digital is now almost indistinguishable (apart from the occasional rice crispie and popcorn pop that is ) |
