Dang. I was visiting Yodobashi Camera today and spent some time with this combo. They had it sourced by a relatively lower-end Denon SACD player.
Man it sounded absolutely fantastic. I was stunned. I'm sure the recording and source had a large part to play with it. But most noticably there was a beautifully open and wide soundstage and air. I knew that audio-technica were capable of a great sense of space from my time with my L3000 and even earlier woodies, but I was astonished. So is this the mythical ATH amp+woody synergy? Cuz I like.
Hmm. Saw a used HA2002 for sale...
Best,
