If anyone is interested, I noticed this review of the Majestic publishes by Paul Rigby on YouTube. Seems realistic and with several quotes from JohnC and the conclusions are very complimentary. It concentrates purely on the DAC capabilities and ignores to lovely analogue processing but maybe that a specialist aspect these days. Anyway have a look if you wish... https://youtu.be/waCuqGcWJ_U - https://youtu.be/waCuqGcWJ_U ------------- Mike Technics sl1210g with Victor U-2 or Technics EPC-205C mk4 Accession MM, Majestic + Proprius, Solo ULDE Innuos Zen mini mk3 streamer Harbeth P3ESR XD paired with 2x REL t5x |

An interesting and very complimentary review, well spotted. Summed up by Paul as 'Wonderful' with nothing in the 'Bad' section. Many of us long term Majestic users have known this for a while.  ------------- Majestic/Enigma, Accession MM & MC. |

So, how many did we make in ten years? Well, that depends on how many people bought. I liked the comment: "this one is on its last leg" - really? The NOS is sufficient to keep it going another ten years for those who seek and find. Because there ain't that many who will. "The Graham Slee Majestic DAC is a product of independent thought" and such as "World" and all the other "formula press" blotted out independent thought to follow the mainstream, where the money is? Except, Noel wasn't making any money. "Copy and paste" only works for some. I really liked how Paul explained "World's" demise - how Noel blamed it on the publisher going bust. The publisher was Noel!  ------------- That none should be able to park up and enjoy the view without a smartphone and the knowledge in how to use apps |

Amazing how Aylesbury was almost 10 years ago too!  Even I'm old now... ------------- We do not see things as they are. We see things as we are. |
