Technics MASH CD-Players have always been massively underrated

message eriade.it... In the early nineties I listened to Technics' MASH CD players on various audio fairs and I was blown away by the sound quality, the dynamics, the tonal reproduction and the 'live' sound of these players. Now after nearly two decades I decided to purchase a used Technics MASH player for a pittance and I found it to be superiour in sound quality to my brand new Denon (which uses comparable Delta-Sigma D/A converters). I am of the opinion that the Technics MASH based CD-players have always been massively underrated by the audio press. If you really listen you'll hear that the MASH players sound much better than their counterparts. The audio press is dominated by commercial interests and hardly by sound quality and in the past they rated the Technics players as good but unexceptional. I'm now bargain hunting for a cheap, used, high-end Technics model. Last I heard these (in the 90's) its sound quality really shocked me. And I've never heard anything comparable since. My advise to everyone would be to get yourself a used Technics CD- player, preferably one of the higher end models, which you can buy for around $100-$150. It's really sad that Matsu****a stopped making Technics equipment in 2005 due to lack of demand. MASH based CD-players can still be found in the hifi audio sets from Panasonic, though. I HEREBY DECLARE THE TECHNICS MASH CD-PLAYERS TO BE THE BEST SOUNDING CD-PLAYERS ON THE PLANET I'm pleased with mine (SL-PG490) which I got for a tenner (ten pounds for aliens) on ebay. Regards Mike. |
