I'll admit that I didn't watch the salesman the entire time to make sure the volume level was constant. And as you stated, without a voltmeter, it's rather futile anyway. In any case, what both my friend and I heard was a loss of clarity in the high frequency response of the Technics with respect to the Yamaha using the same program material. Granted also that it wasn't a double blind test, as I previously said we both liked the Technics better before LISTENING to the CD players. The only other factor that might have made a difference is the Yamaha amp that was used (maybe Yamaha CD players sound better connected to Yamaha amps :-)). Given all of these caveats, I suggest that before you buy any CD player, you go to a reputable dealer, and listen to them. ---------- "...but you've got no arms and no legs, what are you going to do, bleed all over me ..."
