Bill-
I have heard both of these spinners, only in different systems. Yes, for CD playback, the Esoteric spinners are very lean to my ears. I prefer SACD playback on the Esoteric.
On the ARC spinners,very rich and full-bodied sound.
Most will say that the CD7 is the best cd player ARC has ever made. This should get you started and keep me posted.
p.s. Do not forget Cabling.
