I don't know if any of you Audio readers have the original "Stakkato" test disc from many years ago but some of the tracks on that only now make sense, on the KDS/1 !! Amazing !!
I believe they were recorded on a Nakamichi DAT recorder , I don't have the original booklet any more .

the kds/1 is claimed to be the best and most intense digital source ever heard by them and a massive improvement on kds. sound is described as being different to kds, a bit darker with more detail, body and a surprising hologram-3d stage.

nice words on the renew as well - typical kds sound in a new body: "a king in beggars gown, the ultimate in understatement and probably the coolest hifi-gadget of the year".

we are not suprised, aren't we? Wink

Thanks Manfred. That is good to know, because my KDS/1 arrives on Monday!
