I can't wait to see and hear TW's new phono. I knew he has been working hard on it for the last few months.

Hi pcosta, it looks very nice indeed - I like what I'm reading and looking at the pics on their site. Some thought has gone into it's design.

I anyone here familiar with this phono stage or has heard it. It looks like all his products are essentially "bespoke" or made to order.

You might want to ask Stefano at his blog "Twogoodears". He is familiar with Thomas Meyers products although I am unsure about his specific knowledge with his phono

I love what I heard playing with Wolf Von Langa speaker & the pricey & unique looking Thomas Mayer 211 Monoblock

Can't expect that much fr such small room & all glass panels at the back wall . However I do hear enough to explore its potential?
Funny how we listen differently under show condition . I dont particularly like what I heard in Living Voice & Magico Ultimate room but some of us raved it like the best sound on earth . Well I suppose different strokes for different folks

There's one for sale in Germany on the following site:

http://www.audio-markt.de/_markt

(use search to find it, you can't link the particular page)

I have no experience with Thomas Mayer LCR phono but I do with his amps (I own one) and it's possibly only the best products from Kondo - AN Japan that have the edge. Truly magnificent craftsmanship, solutions and knowledge.

Hello! I bought 45/2A3 Thomas Mayer amps, 10Y line stage, and ordered the LCR phono stage. Would you like that we talk about that? Best regards

Ok! I first used a Viola Crescendo preamp and Pass XA 100 with my Avangarde Mezzo, until i listened Thomas Mayer 45/2a3 and 10Y linestage with Avantgarde Picco, bought by a friend in eastern France: it was stunning ! So right now i have the amps, i wait for the 10y linestage ( he loaned me the demo he had in Munich) and the result is fantastic! Tones are very natural, system really disappear and there is only music! As told in a precedent post, i think that maybe only Kondo approach this. I will receive the pre phono next week,and the Raven AC with Lyra Etna in july, so everything will be complete. I was in Munich, and i must tell that Wolf Von Langa speakers may be good, but result was very far from what i hear in my home. Forgive me my poor english !

I recently acquired a TM D3a Partial Silver, which is the most expensive phono I ever bought. It is a long way better than my previous ARC Ref 3 Phono & Coincident Audio Statement Phono in every aspect. The D3a has both the awesome dynamic range, bass slam of ARC Ref 3 and three dimensionality, musicality of Coincident Statement and then more. It is simply much more involving, I don’t feel need for another photo upgrade in the foreseeable future, well perhaps until I can save up for the TM Differential D3a....
