Anybody heard a LECTOR CDP-7t ?

Jwr:
When I was there, on Sunday, the speakers were clearly that far out from the back wall. How can I be sure?
Well, there was a para- or quadra- plegic gentleman there in a wheelchair, a specialized one that he needed to blow into the tubes to change direction. He went behind the speakers to check them out from the back, and he wasn't even close to the walls.
When I heard them, they were around 7-8 feet from the back walls. Still, interestingly enough, I thought the sound a bit dark, too. I don't think it was "muddy," but then my definition of "muddy" may be different than that of others.
I had expected a more dazzling sound, however. It sounded very good, but -- or should I say, considering -- they were using the Lector and some other components of high worth, I am sure that was not the best that that system can sound. I have Alon -- I mean, Nola, their new name, speakers, and they sound quite a bit more lifelike than what I heard there.
Show conditions! The poor manufacturers must be frazzled at what they (can't) achieve. I was surprised that there were no Tube Traps on the wall behind the speakers. They make a considerable difference, even though, supposedly, with dipolars, there's no need for that. That certainly isn't my experience, although I'd say it's more a case of improving the sound rather than that it's bad in an untreated room.
I wouldn't be considering a Lector based on that experience, but I heard the smaller model, the .5 upstairs in the Divergent Technologies room, where Scot Markwell had set it up; it sounded very good, but, again, it was the smaller verison.
I CAN see how someone who was there on Sunday could see it as "muddy," though.

Hey Y'all,

I arrive at the show before the doors opened on Friday and I'm sure that many of the exhibitors had to have done many things to their systems by Sunday. I went to almost every room that I thought was worth a listen and I was not very impressed with any of the systems. I just wrote it off to it being the first day, not having the rooms and systems tuned properly and maybe some miss matching of components. I've never heard the Nola speakers before but what I've been told by others is very mixed at best. If you where impressed by the sound of the CDP-.5T, then you will not be disappointed with the .7T. Everything that the .5T does well, the .7T does better and it is sweeter on the higher frequencies and more solid and musical on the low frequencies. I've had intimate exposure to both the .5T and the .7T and I would recommend them both. The only question is how much you want to pay. You cannot go wrong with either of these CDPs........John

Just got a Lector CDP-7t and I must say this is a heck of a player.

Yes, what HP said in his review is true and consistent to
what I heard. It has the most glorious high ends I've ever heard from any digital setup. Lots of air from top to bottom (yes, even the lowest register is full of air). The
strings, horns, cymbals, all sound crispy and with real-life
body. It's solid, and articulated bass keeps the lines of music flowing freely.

Compare to the Burmester 001, which I had in my system for
a short while, Lector bettered it with more liquid, yet more
authoritive sound. I am not surprised why HP think it can
compete with the digital setup cost 20X of Lector.

the sound is very good and high price to sound performan ratio.
so i buy this cd player waiting 90days.
cdp07t sound like playing a LP disc, very analog and musical, easy to listen and fall into music detail and texture.
best regards
