- "The most expensive vinyl master system sounded as a synthesis of the Red and the Blue. Without lacking the coherence of the Red, it had the same amount of detail as the Blue. As a result, voices came across not only very naturally, but also very articulately. It underpinned its top position with a generous stage with precise localization of individual instruments."
