Audiomeca Mephisto II & Enkianthus. Much more analog sounding. I never thought I would own anything else, then I heard the Audiomeca. It is gorgeous sound and just so natural.
After re-reading my post, I noticed I may have not been entirely clear. I recently sold my dCS gear to pay for a home remodeling project. I had every intention of replacing the dCS stuff in September with another Purcell and delius, until I heard the Audiomeca. I have listened to the Dodson, dCS, Levinson Reference, Wadia, etc. and the Audiomeca topped them all. Everything else sounded thin and distorted until I heard the Mephisto and Enkianthus. I did not realize it until I actually listened to the Audiomeca. I really thought the other products were outstanding. This is truly the first digital combination that I have heard that rivals vinyl.

Pierre Lunet really know his stuff. It is my understanding the he designed the Golmund gear and saved his best work for his own line. The transport mechanism is his own proprietary design and is remarkable.

Before you go out and spend a ton of money, give it a listen. You will not be disappointed.
Plsl: I listen to mostly Classical and Jazz. Large orchestral as well as small ensemble. The Audiomeca handles it extremely well and never thins out the sound. I really loved my dCS gear and I would not have parted with it, if it were not for the remodeling. By chance I heard the Mephisto II with Enkianthus and I was very surprised. It gave me the depth and separation that I got from the dCS gear but retained the warmth and naturalness of the music.

If I were you, I would not run out and sell the dCS stuff, but I would urge you to compare them to the Audiomeca equipment and see if it does the same for you as it did for me.
