“A turn­table like a rock. The Hurri­cane Neo, which is as solidly as it is precisely manu­fac­tured, impres­ses all around with finesse in mecha­nics and work­man­ship. With a suitable high-end cart­ridge on an equally refined tone­arm, it easily plays in the refe­rence class thanks to its unshakable perfor­mance, refined down to the smal­lest detail. Not cheap, but aims to provide plea­sure for an eternity.”

“I hear the table’s well-hidden, ingeniously designed, skillfully executed guts in every play. Wherever you wish to go sonically, the Montana NEO/TA-7000 NEO combo can reliably take you there.”

“Tango Refe­rence isn’t cheap, but the price isn’t prohi­bitive, and the sound perfor­mance is well balanced and well worth the price. Whether it is the voice, the indi­vidual instru­ment or the whole orchestra, it is not only played properly, the speed and air is excel­lent, but also very balanced, not focus­sed on a specific band.”

“The Acoustic Signa­ture Montana Neo turn­table most defi­nitely falls into the category ‘Worth Your Time’. This out­stan­ding performer offers the special techno­logies in Acoustic Signa­ture’s most advanced products in a beau­tifully finished, compact package. Liste­ning to the wonder­ful trans­parency of the Montana Neo leaves this listener wanting for nothing. This is a great turn­table offe­ring the sound quality and relia­bility that satis­fies a life-long dream.”

“Gunther Frohn­hoefer’s Tornado NEO is defin­itively a musical all-rounder. Every moment you spend in its company, you can’t help but notice the exten­sive tech­nical expe­rience of its deve­loper who extrac­ted the maxi­mum analog enjoy­ment out of a turn­table, but with­out mixing in any arti­fi­cial gimmickry.”

“I heard a whole lot more of what I love about playing records when I played them on the Acoustic Signature Typhoon NEO/TA-5000 setup. Enough said.”

“The Acoustic Signa­tures Double X is a joy for the eyes: perfect engi­nee­ring meets first-class finish and (optio­nally) macassar wood. However, with its uncompro­mising design the Double X is also a feast for the ears: the elegant, noble tone­arm guides any pickup safely, the platter rotates in a stoic, con­trol­led manner – the sonic result is beyond any doubt. The combo plays in an easy, trans­parent way, remains always clean and bullet-proof even with dynamic peaks. This is money well spent.”

“The southern German analog specia­list presents a turn­table that has a thought-out design down to the smal­lest aspects and is manu­fac­tured exqui­sitely. The dyna­mically grip­ping and at the same time finely differen­tiated sound with compact, accu­rately ordered spatial imaging corres­ponds to the flawless finish in its finesse.”

“From the Typhoon Neo came the pure music. What sounds so trivial, is actu­ally the very great art which only a few can master. The Typhoon Neo is a master of sound.”

“I can honestly say that, as of this wri­ting, I haven’t heard another that is higher in reso­lu­tion or more neu­tral in the deli­very of tim­bral, tem­po­ral, spa­tial, and dyna­mic details than the Invictus Junior.”
