I'd like to replace my Mark Levinson 380 and next week I'm going to listen to the Soulution: I've never had this chance. But what about the Takumi? Have you ever experienced one of those ? What do you think ?
Id have to agree on one thing on this thread, The Aries Cerat is of a superior nature to the brands mentioned. Aries Cerat not only are built like battle tanks but they are way more easier to listen too with out the sacrifice of Transparency or dynamics.
No doubt that Aries Cerat, even the INCITO S is far superior to conrad, Vtl and Audioresearch. Both in build quality and sound!!! I have unfortunately not heard the ones from Thomas Mayer nor the Koda.
I bought Soulution 725 for several reasons: I like sound details and Soulution is perfect. The Soulution seller was much more interested in my need that the RK one. If you want to buy a second hand RK you must check the firmware version because (according the RK seller) RK often evolve it (which is positive) but if you want buy a used machine you must check this version and be aware of the different features. Usually the few used machines that are on the market have old firmware versions and this is why there price differencies between apparently same preamp.
