Steve Edison says he heard a difference between two CD players
in a dealer's showroom.  I don't doubt him.

I do doubt, though, that it was a fair test.  In our testing
(smb, jj, bem, llf, rfg, karn, ark), we found that two players
sounded different until we accurately matched the levels and
synchronized the programs.  The apparent differences then vanished.

If your dealer did not prove to you that he had used accurate
test equipment to match levels, the test is suspect.
