The Maestro and the Burson Conductor Virtuoso 9018
I thought that I should send you some of my very last impressions about your Conductor (Virtuoso). here are my most important remarks:
The Conductor is extremely well balanced, and is doubtless in its very best when decoding 192KHz/24Bit HD material.
Indeed, I was not able to get the correct sound-stage before; however, once I moved my speakers back (to about only 50 cm from the wall), the sound-stage became evident and it is indeed very very very good.
Something wonderful is being created now by me at home with your Conductor. I am listening now to some excellent classical and jazz recording via your Conductor, with it ESS9018 PCB DAC board. It is trully excellent!! And not just that it is excellent: I love it! It IS the best. I am quite amazed that you Burson people simply match 1:1 with my own taste and sound understanding which was developed through years of active music making and studio recordings, with great orchestras in the greatest european concert-halls. Really fantastic achievement of you!
I’ve just finished another comparison between my AVM & your Conductor: you won. We all win. It is quite amazing how alive but still relax the music sounds via your new Conductor. I am very happy about this.
Follow up thoughts.
I would like to share with you the good news from yesterday evening:
Michael Rassinger, the journalist have been at my home; we spent about 5 hours together, listening A LOT to your Conductor.
Your Conductor was in many CDs the winner (we were listening mostly to the Sabra32 DAC), especially in jazz music but also in organ music; several time also in orchestral and piano music. Really impressive.
The DAC is working excellent! I am getting beautiful sound from Conductor’s DAC-OUT when it is connected to my AVM Preamp!!
I am using now also a complete new set of silver cables – both for signal (NF) and as speaker cables; these are a very high quality of cables, over powering even the previous ETI Quiessense and eXpress-Six cables. So my conclusion nr. 1 is that best cables are a MUST for getting the real true sound and the right impression of your Conductor.
