I am getting a Teddy Pardo version of the Supercap; the Naim version is over twice the price of the Superline; in the HIFICRITIC tests the Uphoric was quite good but not as good as the Superline; which is about twice as expensive as the Uphoric. I have a non Naim system. A friend who use to sell the 47 Labs line was not terribly impressed with their construction or value for money. YMMV.
Phonostage: Naim Superline vs 47 Labs phonocube
Choosing between these two phonostages. I already use Naim CDP and amp in my system so I am familiar with their sound. 47 labs is unknown to me but their philosophy attracts me.
I am looking for a phonostage which is lively and open with good PRAT. I have heard good things about both these phonostages but the negatives I have heard are:
1. The Naim Superline lacks air
2. 47 Labs phonocube works well within their system concept, but unpredictable outside. Their phonostage doesnt have any impedance matching features so they may work very well with Miyabi 47 cartridge but not with other cartridges.
Please shed some light on these issues. What are your thoughts and observations. Whatever I buy will be long terms and I do not have the option of listening to them :(
