I've been reading this with some interest for some time now, but do have some doubts about it all. I own (gee, do I dare say this in this group) a Technics SL-P7 CD player. So do a couple of my friends. This machine produces the best sound that I have ever heard, and at least one of my friends can attest to that also. The other one I never asked about it. Not to say that EVERY disc sounds phenomenal, but generally the ones that don't I heard don't sound good on any player. So, from the idea I get from some of the postings here, this is not a particularly good CD player. If there is such a difference between machines, what would I hear if I had a "good" one? Are my ears shot from listening to lots of loud music? What benefits would I receive if I were to upgrade the CD player? Would it make lousy disks sound great? Are my Walkman batteries interfering with my musical judgement? :-) Does anyone agree with this, or are we on an isolated island in a world filled with oversampling and digital filtering? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
