Reading the "review" it's obvious that Arthur loved the CD7. The points he made were small ones. No player is perfect. I have not seen a review of the CD7 that is more positive. He gave it an A+. I own the CD7 and from my perspective it's pretty darn good for the price.
About Audio Research CD7
"Does the ARC have any flaws? Yes, there are two. They are subtle and not obtrusive but they do exist. The first is a lack of midbass power, weight and body. Drums do not have the impact they could nor does double bass and cello possess the growl they should. The other is a slight leaning out of the harmonics in the upper midrange accompanied by a slight tendency towards stridency in this range." This is from Arthur Salvatore's webpage high-end critique.
I'd like to ask you to comment; does the CD7 has the same traditional sound of ARC as described above?
Thank you,
Nikos.
