Re: Thales Tonearm
How true both statements are.
The last week I had the chance to listen the following combinations:
1. Thales Compact II with Simplicity II & EMT JSD S75
2. Transrotor Rondino Nero FMD & SME 5009 + TR Figaro
3. Acoustic Signature Novum & TA-3000
As Phono Preamps I used an Audionet PAM G2 incl. EPC and a Tom Evans The GroovePlus SRX mkII.
By a clear margin the Thales combi with the Tom Evans was the best solution for my ears. The reproduction was well defined in all parts of the complete sound spectrum , detailed but not intrusive with a pleasant touch analogue. The mid and high frequencies were very open and with exceptional details. The bas reproduction was dynamic and well contured.
The Thales-combi was the first analogue gear which for me was better or at least at eye level with my digital solution with the Purist Statement. I am still excited about this feast for my ears.
I also combined the Thales with the Audionet to hear possible differences between the both phono pre´s. The Audionet is a good set, but the Tom Evans is a better match to the Thales.

Re: Thales Tonearm
@byrdparis: I have looked for your review of the Simplicity II in HIFIMUSIC.CO.IL. Unfortunately I am not able to read it because of the used language. Is there any other source in the internet with an English version of your review?

Re: Thales Tonearm
Another question: Is it worth to think about an alternative tonearm cable. I have chosen the original Thales direct wiring tonearm cable. I use the following other gear:
- Tom Evans Preamp
- Vitus Audio SIA-025 + SS-025
- Gauder Berlina RC 8
Thank´s in advance for your feed back.Last edited by AlterEgo; August 22, 2017 at 02:58 AM. Reason: devices added

Re: Thales Tonearm
Thank´s XV-1 for your fast and clear reply. I heard the tonearm without the direct wiring version and what I heard I liked very much. With the direct wiring cable version I think it will be one step forward. Your answer in any case is helping me to bring down my update fever. :-)
PS: Yes, I ordered the Simplicity II with the TT Compact II and the EMT JSD S75. Only the Preamp isn´t fixed finally. In the test scenario at my home I listened to the Tom Evans GroovePlus SRX mkII and it sounded very well and harmonized perfectly with the Thales/EMT-combination. Nevertheless I want to audition the big brother, the Mastergroove in addition.
