“A confident and assured performer that does justice to anything thrown at it. Within ten minutes of warming up, the Experience Two leaves you in no doubt. It is superbly open and revealing. Voices and instruments grab and hold the attention. The build is absolutely superb and the overriding impression is that the people that built the Trafomatic know exactly what they are doing and care deeply about doing it right.
Hi-Fi Choice ‘The Collection’
Above all, this is a remarkable easy product to live with long term.”

“System One : For an ‘entry-level’ system, this is far from cheap, but it is so effortlessly musical and accomplished that it makes a totally persuasive case for itself. Bass is visceral and has physical punch to it, and the speed at which it starts and stops is simply excellent. The placement of artists and the details of their performance are staggeringly easy to follow. We could have easily devoted a whole day ploughing through Definitive Audio’s extensive music collection, but there were other systems to hear.”
Ed Selley, Hi-Fi Choice

“System Two : So effortless is the performance, that it is easy to forget how dynamic this system is. One minute you can be pounding along to a rock act in a stadium, the next listening to an unamplified human voice and both will simply sound right…
Ed Selley, Hi-Fi Choice
Hard to believe that there is much more to be had from going further up the Definitive Audio price list, but that was before we heard system three…”

“System Three : This system is so tangibly real that closing your eyes is often the easiest way of overcoming the conflict of information between eye and ear. The scale of the performance is breathtaking. Even more extraordinary is the sense of depth it creates which aides the incredible sense of realism. The Ongaku and Vox Olympian are able to produce pretty much any volume level you could possibly desire with dynamics and detail to die for.
Ed Selley, Hi-Fi Choice
You cannot ignore the price… It is simply the cost of doing something as well as it can possibly be done.”

Edward Barker, Six Moons
