Got my order in for one of these. Kinda rekindling my appreciation for A&K these last couple months.

Still no listening reports?

Nice. But I wish they would've just put it in a normal box rather than a wood box and lowered the cost. I don't care about paying for a wood box to keep it in.

Also... really dislike the color of those tan/yellow cases.

The player looks awesome... and I'm really interested in the sound of the Korg nano tubes and hybrid mixing with standard amp.

Balanced with 1 korg ?

SP2000T initial review/impressions posted

Thank you, very promising. Sounds like it would mate with my U18t very well.

Btw, when you mention Tidal ripper, are you referring to the streaming service's ability to let you download tracks or something more nefarious?

I think the U18t would indeed be a really good pairing. I've ordered an A18t because of the SP2000T with their 3 day rush option, so I imagine it should be here around the end of next week (fingers crossed). I'll be able to update you on it next weekend hopefully

The Tidal ripper is worse than that, you straight up download FLACs ready to be used

 

[madFloyd]

Which one do you use?

It’s called Tidal-GUI. I tried one other but couldn’t get it to work, you have to play around a bit with the settings and whatnot

the suspension for the tube is just one dimenton? not 5 axis like those used in cameras?

SP2000T is officially available starting today in North America. Those that have pre-ordered from authorized dealers or the Astell&Kern US site should start receiving tracking information soon.
