You forgot Audio Aero...first with their Capitole series and culminating with La Source and La Fountaine ...these are great sounding players.
The people behind Audio Aero these days are for the most part Vermeer Audio.
They'll service to some extent the 'ol disc spinners from the good old Audio Aero days.
They have the Model two on offer now. An entry level model three in the works and a model one that will be their top offering a bit in the future...
Typical French. What is it?
It's like the Hegel Mohican. Extreme phase correctness and very low noise floor coupled with impeccable clocking and output stages that are either discrete or tubed but always with very low phase skew in the frequency domain.
So every effort in the digital sections are preserved in the signal the amplifier err... Amplifies.
Eera is mentioned here also and others.
Small signal electronics and driver and bufferstages and general implementation of new technologies are a strength of the French companies.
Yes... They tend to do things somewhat finicky and different.
But they do get result that are sonicly very... Palatable.
