In idle mode, the MC input produces a non-critical slight noise, and then only, if the potentiometer is properly turned up. Steven Wilson regularly concludes his live concerts with the piece "The Raven that Refused to Sing", a melancholic work, which had been recorded in a quite cool manner. But, when letting the AMG and the Struss Audio interplay, it gives the sound a more roundish appearance with an aesthetic high frequency range, while throughout the lower frequencies drive jointly with power complement the performance in a perfect way. Next one of my oldest records finds itself rotating on the turntable: Gregorianischer Choral Weihnachtsmesse (Gregorian Chants Christmas Mass), recorded in 1959 in the Benedictine Archabbey of St. Martin. What the then sound engineer Gerhard Henjes came up to produce more than sixty years ago is more than admirable. Depicting choirs in a large room – for the Struss this is an easy task to perform. Substantially more demanding proves to be "The Embrace" from Al Di Meola's double album Kiss My Axe. Again the rhythmics are nimble and to the point, whereby, however, the attack department keeps asking for a little more stimulation. Nevertheless, the phono input splendidly complements the high level section with its very similar strengths.
