"Right out of the box, the FM 222 impressed by
its stunning appearance. It looked more like a fine piece of jewellery than
audio equipment. The minute I played the very first record, I knew I had
never heard anything like this before.
The sense of presence, ease and natural detail. The richness of tone and
resonance. The vibrant, vital quality of voices and instruments was simply
breathtaking. Never before had I heard my records reproduced this way. For
the very first time since I have been trying to achieve the very best in
sound reproduction, I felt I was in the recording venue. I was part of the
moment when these records were being recorded."
