Consonance Isolde/T8

摘要

The price region from £1000 to £2000 is the source of a wide range of eminently capable hi-fi components, particularly when it comes to turntables. Naturally, the lower end is well catered for but, despite some very good models in this sector, ultimately the designs are constrained by a need to bring the deck in at a relatively tight budget. Arguably, the higher the price, the looser are the reins on the design team, but in this hotly contested £1 -2k region there are more than a few models that punch well above their weight.A newcomer that sits pretty much slap bang in the middle of this price sector is the latest offering from Beijing's Opera Audio Company. The Consonance Isolde (named after Wagner's operatic character) is a neat and pleasant looking turntable, rather more traditional in style than some of the company's previous - and indeed current - offerings.
