In Reply to: Shanling SCD-T200 here - listening tests. posted by Allen Wright on June 9, 2003 at 05:47:24:
Hello Allen,
Thanks for the review. This past weekend I had an opportunity to hear the Shanling at the Lone Star Bottlehead get-together in San Antonio (http://www.wardsweb.org/LSB/). The Shanling is definitely eye-candy and drew significant attention even when off. While I personally would also rather have the 777ES, I can see why people would be drawn to the T200. In fact, it was actually a little better than I thought it would be. Mated with a DIY tubed pre-amp and solid state amp, it did amazingly well with Zander SACD of Mahler's 6th. Definitely not as "crisp" as a full solid state set-up, but it seemed to be much to the liking of the folks at the meet.Julian
