So the sub bass is far greater on the AC and the sound-stage is (much) larger on the CC?

What kind of power is needed to effortlessly drive the CC?

Watch these two reviews unless already done so.

Was it run in because if not it will sound atrocious according to an early review.

That's an excellent question. One has the discrete amp and less power while the other has THX (clinical sound potentially) and heaps of power plus what looks like an excellent DSP ability. I am also looking at the K19 or the Aune S9c Pro BT.

Thanks for this comparison as I was on the fence on which one would be for me. Can you add some points regards sound stage differences between the two please.

BTW, you need two of these as they are mono turntables.:smile_phones:

Some of the gear sold here in audiophile land is totally ridiculous in price.

I had to remind myself today was April 1st. Considering this is Head-fi and lots of hi-end audio is expensive, something like this is not a total stretch. I am waiting for Flagship phones to be around 10k very soon as the new normal.

Why does the XD Pro now have a green volume knob, what is the difference?

Astell & Kern anyone.

:rolling_eyes: Sarcasm deprived. I was injecting my two cents of levity since the thread has gone way of topic due to lack of further info regards the CC.

This fellow better get new tires, look how bald they are!!

Unless already posted, can you tell us something in regards to the tuning of the Caldera closed?
