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
