Test reports
Maximus NEO review on AnalogPlanet 01/2023
“It’s a well-built machine that’s dead-quiet, fast off the mark, super-resolving, and uber-lively. In short, it’s a maximally great turntable well worth checking out. Gut gemacht!”

Maximus NEO, TA-1000 NEO and MCX3 in Absolute Sound 09/2022
“A turntable is all about spinning vinyl with speed accuracy and minimal bearing chatter. The Maximus NEO does an excellent job of that.”

Maximus NEO test report in Stereo 07/2021
“The southern German analog specialist presents a turntable that has a thought-out design down to the smallest aspects and is manufactured exquisitely. The dynamically gripping and at the same time finely differentiated sound with compact, accurately ordered spatial imaging corresponds to the flawless finish in its finesse.”
