The EAT gave Passos’s voice more haunting depth. It sorted the music better and enlarged its scale. The F-Dur consistently surprised me with its ability to surprise. Even as it expanded the soundstage, it assembled the many elements of a recording into a well-polished, cohesive, refined whole. Hearing this, I felt that the Thorens combo, for all its many virtues, was generalizing some. With the EAT, I heard more specificity—more of what’s on the record, moment to moment.When I swapped out phono stages, the EAT let each shine with its own character: the Tavish Audio Design Adagio‘s lush, tube warmth; the Manley Chinook‘s razor-sharp attack and punch; and the PrimaLuna EVO 100‘s balanced, composed refinement.
