As the review progressed, and even though I knew I wasn’t auditioning the most expensive turntable on the market, I would soon forget about the delivery system and simply focus on the music. I realize that last bit might sound cliché, but it’s true, I really was able to forget about what type of turntable or cartridge I was listening to, even whether or not I was listening to a digital stream. This didn’t happen all the time, but occasionally a passage would make it known that I was listening to vinyl, mostly because of the treble, in that it was much more organic sounding than when I play it through just about any digital player I’ve had in this system of late.

The X2 was able not only able to track what I considered the most difficult passages on some of these LPs, but more importantly, was able to separate all the instruments, vocals, and sounds on these records, and place each of them into a discrete area in a huge soundstage that would fill the front portion of my listening room. This turntable was able to perform what I consider a very important feature of high-end turntable, the feature that separates the merely good from the very good, and that is for the music to have a sense of weight behind it. I have a sneaking suspicion that this was caused by the extra mass that the designers have added to the newest version of this turntable, and the structural integrity of the components that they have attached to it.
