Sorry, you're right, I should have been a little more specific in the comparison.
What I was thinking of were the following options:
1. SB3/HD621/G68(or G61) vs
2. Linn DS Akurate
Ignoring the functional differences, I wondered if anyone had listened to both in the same system and had an opinion on the sonic differences?
I do appreciate that each manufacturer has it's own sonic signature and prefered method of presentation, just wondering about other people's views.
