Have been listening to the new PGM for about 24 hours. I’m comparing to the BHK pre. FR30 speakers, M1200 amps and perfect wave 2 DAC
The BHK was wonderful but the PGM is something else. The soundstage opened up particularly front to back. I think its because the resolution gives you more ambient content and instruments that are ment to be way in the background are resolved.
More importantly the harmonics of stringed instuments and piano are brought out. An example is the beat caused by the three strings of a grand piano mid range notes (if its well tuned) being evident. These slow beats stay with the decay that are almost never reproduced correctly. They are with the PGM, There is more sparkle in the highs without sounding like an over emphasized high end. Another observation is the attack on notes played. Lots of good stereos do this leading edge attack well on loud high dynamic music. The PGM does it at medium and quieter passages. Percusion and piano have this leading edge attack at all sound levels. I can hardly wait to pair is with the PGM DAC.
