Lector CDP 7 Mk I, II or III ?


I plan to part with my second system Ayre gear to refinance a purchase for the main system and am considering to retain only the Yamamoto headphones with another good cdp. And so I came accross Lector, unknown on the local market and thus even more interesting.

Now, I did a search on Agon and found several people specifically advising the CDP 7 Mk I, clearly prefering it over the later versions.

Is the original Lector CDP 7 sonically better? Any specific reason for that?

Thanks in advance

Karefd,

If you like Lector ,there 2 other players that approach the design as Lector,but with better sonic results:

1]Metronome esp CD 4

2]Mimetism

Both are significantly better than Lector IMO
Mr tennis,

Have you actually has any experience listening to the Mimetism,any Mimetism products?The CDP will put a lot of so call 'tube'cdp to shame...

I will not describe it for you,just go and have a listen
