3/2/2024 0 Comments Lektor thues r2"Yeah but" cringe the barbarian hordes of streaming. The black metal monolith with a footprint of 35x36cm stands just 7cm tall but weighs a solid 11kg. Digital outputs are direct-coupled 0.7V/75Ω RCA and transformer-coupled 1V/110Ω AES/EBU. And for the first time in his catalogue, a Lektor comes with an external word-clock input on RCA. A material change from Jarek's earlier black granite slab is precision-machined hard-anodized aluminium sourced from Taiwan's Champion H and C Inc. This recalls iFi's Thorsten Loesch whose Aurora all-in-one runs all clocking off one oscillator "like soldiers marching in lockstep on parade". It creates a digital output of very high slew rate and very low jitter." In my implementation of the Pro8, a single 3ps 16'9344MHz clock from TentLabs controls all processes for perfect synchronization. The earlier Philips drive still ran separate clocks for its transport, controller, display and volume control. That requires very specialized expertise. For the Pro8's Blue Tiger CD-84 controller, adopters must write their own software. Most commercial Pro2 implementations used this platform. Originally Digital Audio Industrial Supply of France who sold individual Philips drives had designed a display, controller firmware on Eprom memory plus a nice metal remote. "The new hardware lacks software support. As it turns out, for Jarek reviving his Lektor was a lot more involved than a simple swap of one mechanism for another. On the other side of the price tracks, Pro-Ject's various player/transport boxes had followed suit. Called the CD-Pro8, one of the first to implement it was Gryphon's Triangular Excellence aka the Ethos player I reviewed 3 years ago. It's based on Austria's SUOS-Hifi Pro2 successor. But having more to say on the subject proved just a matter of time. When remaining inventories of the long discontinued Philips CD-Pro2 top-loading mechanism finally thinned out too much to support a new production machine-or came with extortionist pricing-Jarek's digital lecturer became a professor. Since 1997 Jaromir Waszczyszyn aka Jarek of Krakow's Ancient Audio has called his CD players Lektor followed by a version suffix. Lektor: a university/college lecturer or teacher with a doctoral degree below a professor.
