Tom Evans Groove Plus SRX MK2.5
Der Groove Plus SRX MK2.5 unterscheidet sich an zwei Stellen deutlich vom Groove Anniversary. Anstelle der ausgelagerten Trafos sitzt ein zweiter Satz kompletter Lithos 7.5A (seit 2024) pur Class-A Dual Mono Spannungsregler. Zusätzlich ist die Eingangsstufe deutlich aufwändiger und noch rauschärmer. Das Resultat sind über 20 dB mehr Dynamik und ein deutlich verbesserter Geräuschspannungsabstand. Das Fenster zur Musik geht noch weiter auf.
Lithos 7.5A
Die MK2.5-Version unterscheidet sich von der MKII-Version durch die neu entwickelte Lithos 7.5A-Technologie, eine vollständig diskret aufgebaute Platine für eine bestmögliche Class-A-Spannungsregulierung. Herkömmliche Reglerelemente begrenzen den maximal erreichbaren Dynamikumfang und beeinträchtigen somit die Klangqualität einer Schaltung. Die Ursache liegt in den verwendeten Bauelementen, die einen relativ hohen Störpegel verursachen. Dank der neuesten, bis ins kleinste Detail ausgefeilten Lithos 7.5A-Technologie von Tom Evans erreicht der Groove Plus SRX MK2.5 nun eine weitere substanzielle Klangverbesserung.

Der Klang
Das Klangbild gewinnt gegenüber dem Groove Anniversary nochmals deutlich an Tiefe und Plastizität. Die Luft zwischen den Instrumenten wird größer, die Raumabbildung tiefer und präziser. Die Töne klingen perfekt aus. Die Intention der Musiker wird noch deutlicher. Der GroovePlus SRX versetzt den Zuhörer direkt in den Aufnahmeraum. Ein musikalischer Traum.

Ken Redmond schreibt im September 2022 in theaudiobeatnik.com:
"Speaking of dynamic subtleties being conveyed, an excellent example of that is the last 30 seconds of the Mama Look a Boo Boo cut, off my Classic Records reissue of Belafonte at Carnegie Hall. As he brings the song to an end, Harry Belafonte repeats the refrain twice and adds a slight laugh as he lowers his voice to almost a whisper the second time he repeats it. Previous phono stages I have listened to obscure some of the delicate detail, and the subtle dynamics conveyed in that 30 seconds. With the Groove + I never lost my connection with him. Also, when he misses his intro on the 3rd verse and then chuckles, and the crowd swells and laughs, the Groove+ conveys that moment in time better than I have heard it before. This is a combination of micro-dynamics, lower sound floor, and detail coming together to give me a truer sense of what happened on that special night in 1959....
...Yes, you guessed it, I am quite smitten with these understated black boxes. I feel the Groove+ is a very complete and revelatory phono stage. It is the least colored, most revealing phono stage I have had in my system to date. It manages to walk the delicate tightrope between the retrieval of musical information and the emphasis on musical information. The latter is the more common way of making a component sound like it is “high resolution” which, in the end, makes that component tiresome to listen to in my experience. This is not the case with Groove+. It is simply more transparent, and it reveals/uncovers more information without emphasizing it. No small feat.
...Highly recommended for your consideration."
Roy Gregory schreibt im Oktober 2023 in Gy8.eu über den Tom Evans Groove Plus SRX MK 2.5:
“Listening to The Groove it’s no surprise that the first thing that strikes you is its astonishing transparency and immediacy. As it ever was: The Tom Evans phono-stages have always given superb access to and placed you closer to the musicians than the competition. But in its latest guise, The Groove Plus SRX Mk. 2.5 – no prizes for elegant nomenclature – extends those qualities significantly. The sense of instrumental separation, substance, bandwidth and sheer transparency has taken a major step forward. More importantly, this is transparency that hasn’t been bought at the expense of instrumental colour, harmonic structure and presence, all of which have been improved too….
…That dynamic control and ability to graduate tiny shifts in level makes for an intimacy and immediacy that few phono-stages can match…
…Central to The Groove’s musical capabilities are its ability to discriminate tiny shifts in level, to track the tiny inflections in a voice or playing, the nuances that bring life, character and expression to an individual performance. The incredibly low noise floor is a large part of that, but it’s not just about delivering dynamic range: it’s about being able to react to dynamic demands, to jump in level when required, to traverse that dynamic range without hesitation or delay…
…The Groove Plus SRX Mk. 2.5 (to restore its full, unwieldy moniker) is the most affordable, genuinely high-end phono-stage available…
…The Groove has a long history and it’s a story of incremental but constant progress, an unbroken line starting from the original Iso and continuing today. It was one of the first products to demonstrate that serious high-end performance could be achieved without spending the kids’ inheritance. This latest version continues that tradition, bringing extra dynamic range, an even quieter noise floor and the sense of presence and dimensionality that goes with them. It carries a more subtle and developed tonal palette, without adding spurious weight or tailored colouration. But most importantly of all, it brings music to life, putting you firmly in the same space as the original performance…”
