  1. Hello Geoffrey, thank you for the review.

    It’s unfortunate that Jaap hasn’t measured this CD player.

    The ones that have been measured have showed poor technical prowess in the design department at atoll.

    I have many Atoll pieces at home, but have personally taken a pause on buying any of their Evo products.

    You can have great sound and well measuring products (not mutually exclusive), Atoll needs to step up in this department.
