Ken Kessler has posted a review of the Metronome CD8 CD player (£7500) at Hi-Fi News and Record Review. His conclusions:
“‘Elegant’ was the first adjective that came to mind when I saw this player, and elegance remained its pre-eminent virtue. At no time did it sound ‘digital’ or harsh, regardless of the origins of the material or the means by which it reached the CD8 Signature – disc or streamer. This player exhibits precisely the kind of finesse and musicality that one now expects from any serious digital component. Bravo!”
