Theta Compli Blu Universal Disc Player

November 1, 2012

Andy Schaub has posted a review of the Theta Compli Blu universal disc player ($2995) at Positive Feedback. His conclusions:

“Yes, I will admit that at times it can sound a little bright. That’s my primary complaint about the Theta Compli Blu as a two-channel music playing machine; and, in a side-by-side comparison between it and my former Ayre C-5xeMP, the Ayre definitely sounded softer if all you want to do is use it as a $6K SACD player; and there are many times when I have considered making a bargain with the devil and buying one second-hand just for that purpose. But I have also put a lot of effort into optimizing the Compli Blu, and Theta has been doing digital for a very long time, so I have reason to believe that its sound is somehow righter than the Ayre’s, despite my romantic recollection of the Ayre’s all class-A output.”
