As Richardyc says, it's really a matter of what pleases your ear. I auditioned a 751 at a local dealer and promptly bought it because the sound was so musical, accurate, detailed and controlled. It's only a week old at this point, and I'm still putting it through its paces but so far I am thrilled with it. It's a huge step up from my previous player--a 10-year-old Sony CD/DVD/SACD player that worked like a trooper through a decade of heavy use, but was well past retirement age. Because the 751 is so honest and accurate, it will definitely show all the warts of your existing music collection--good discs sound great, bad ones sound, well, bad.
