Add Your Review for the SSP25 THX |
I've been looking for a long time for a hi-end pre-pro and finally found this "gem" from Quebec manufacturer. If you are in the market for a pre/pro than your search should end here.
This unit posesses captivating 2 channel stereo music reproduction. It's analog bypass mode smokes every and I mean every pre/pro out there costing the same or way more money ( note: there are only few of them with this feature !!!)
HT audio/video is excellent especially on dts/dd music (multichannel)
As usuall, good/very good cd/dvd source is the key. Interconnect upgrade is ok, but do not spend the fortune here - I found JPS Labs Ultraconductors to integrate very well and they didn't cost the fortune to own. So go out there and give it the good listen - let your ears be the judge !!!
