It seems to be pretty clear that a small difference in loudness makes a difference in the percieved quality. But, what about things like imaging? When I compared an NAD with a Mission cd player - at roughly the same volume - the imaging was quite different. The singer was on the floor with the NAD and standing up with the Mission. Can that be a function of a slight difference in loudness? I would love to do a test of the Meridan/Mission/Magnovox/Whatever to see if I can spot a difference. Anyone game that has them? If someone has a Magnovox, I suppose we could try to set up a comparison test at the snobshop in Milburn (challenge them to show that Meridian/Mission is actually better?). Dewayne Perry
